Transportation Minister Miri Regev ordered Israel Railways to run overnight trains in response to concerns over unusual traffic congestion, the company confirmed it will operate on-demand through the late hours, N12 reports. The directive comes amid broader transport adjustments tied to current security conditions. As The Zioneer previously reported, public transit has undergone several shifts in recent days, initially reduced to 75% capacity (June 8) before resuming full routine service except in northern frontline areas (June 9). The overnight rail order marks an additional step to manage civilian movement during a period of heightened alerts across the country.
The Ministry of Transportation has been coordinating public transport policy with Home Front Command directives; earlier this week and last, bus and rail services were temporarily scaled back. The current order specifically addresses potential bottlenecks, though the extent and specific lines for overnight service were not detailed.
