Israel Railways announced Tuesday evening that train traffic was temporarily halted in the southern region due to a fire near the tracks in the Naan area. The affected lines included those traveling to Be'er Sheva, specifically via Kiryat Gat and Lehavim-Rahat, and to Beit Shemesh. Passengers whose journeys were to or from Be'er Sheva stations were advised to consider using the Western Negev line, which passes through Sderot and Ofakim. Shortly after the initial announcement, the company reported that train services had resumed.
The fire's proximity to the railway line necessitated the immediate suspension of services to ensure passenger safety and allow emergency services to manage the situation. The disruption impacted numerous travelers heading to and from major southern cities. Israel Railways worked to restore normal operations as quickly as possible.
