Train service halted in Haifa and northern Israel after metal debris falls on tracks
Israel Railways said train traffic was temporarily stopped after metal debris fell onto the tracks in the Haifa area. Service was suspended between Haifa Hof HaCarmel, Haifa Bat Galim, Haifa Center HaShmona and the Merkazit HaMifratz stations.
The disruption effectively cut off train travel between Haifa and northern Israel and the center of the country in both directions. The company said there were also changes to train routes and frequencies across the north.
Railways said the incident is being examined and investigated. It apologized for the inconvenience and advised passengers in Haifa and the north to consider using alternative transportation.
According to the company, train crews are working to restore normal service as soon as possible.
