Due to a rocket that was apparently fired in one of the last barrages at the Be'er Sheva area, railway infrastructure was damaged at the Goral Intersection near Beer Sheva, and communication and signaling components were damaged.
As a result, the railway between Beersheba and Kiryat Gat (the eastern line to Be'er Sheva) was temporarily halted until the railway tracks and communications components are repaired, and police sappers neutralize the ordnance and conduct searches.
For the time being, trains on the Beersheba-Herzliya and Be'er-Karmiel lines will begin and end their journey north of the Kiryat Gat station. The Lahavim-Rahat stations, Beersheba Center and the Be'er North will be closed temporarily.
