Several train lines disrupted last week have resumed operation amid the transportation chaos caused by a severe malfunction and damage to electrification infrastructure in central Israel. As of this morning, trains arriving from the south will stop at Tel Aviv HaHagana station, trains on the Beit Shemesh-Netanya line will reach Lod, and the Kfar Chabad and Lod Ganei Aviv stations have reopened. According to Israel Railways, Tel Aviv HaShalom station will also reopen tomorrow, and train traffic will fully resume except for a few delays: the Ashkelon-Binyamina line will temporarily terminate at Herzliya, and the Carmiel-Beer Sheva line will operate with train transfers. Direct trains are expected to return to service on September 1.
