Israel Railways announced on Friday, October 23rd, that significant infrastructure work essential for passenger safety will be conducted in the Ashdod area, leading to temporary changes in train services. The company stated that trains on the Beersheba-Herzliya line will operate in a split service, running separately between Beersheba Central and Ashkelon, and between Yavne West and Herzliya. Similarly, trains on the Ashkelon-Binyamina line will originate and terminate at Rehovot station. To mitigate the disruption, Israel Railways will provide free shuttle services, and normal operations are expected to resume by Saturday evening. Additionally, special reinforcement trains, numbers 687 and 8299, serving the "Next" musical event at Ramat Gan Stadium on Thursday, October 22nd, will end their journeys at Yavne West/Rehovot.

Passengers are advised to check the Israel Railways website, app, or official WhatsApp channel for the latest updates. The company also noted ongoing escalator upgrade work at Azrieli Center Tel Aviv, connecting to Tel Aviv HaShalom station, which began on October 10th and is expected to last five weeks, with one escalator operational at all times. This work, initiated by Azrieli Group, will not affect elevator or stair access.
