Israel Railways reported two separate incidents on Tuesday where individuals were struck by passing trains after entering the tracks against regulations. The first incident occurred near Atlit, where a 32-year-old man sustained moderate injuries and was transported to Rambam Hospital in Haifa. While train traffic continued on an adjacent track, delays were expected on the coastal line between Haifa and Tel Aviv until the scene was cleared.
A similar event took place at the Bat Galim station in Haifa, involving a man around 50 years old who also suffered moderate injuries to his limbs and was taken to Rambam Hospital. Train operations at the Bat Galim station were rerouted to nearby tracks, with potential delays anticipated.
In unrelated news, Israel Railways announced upcoming infrastructure work near Ashdod aimed at improving service and safety. These works will cause temporary changes to train schedules on Friday, October 23. Specifically, the Beer Sheva-Herzliya line will operate in two segments, and the Ashkelon-Binyamina line trains will terminate and originate at Rehovot station. Free shuttle services will be provided, and normal operations are expected to resume by Saturday evening.
