Israel Railways said that rail traffic in the northern area is resuming at this time, but that it will take some time to return to a complete network routine.

Israeli train crews have been operating since morning and drained all the floodwaters in the Haifa railway stations, after they were flooded by heavy rains.

In addition, infrastructure teams have been working to repair faults in signaling and rail components caused by flooding. Among other things, the motors in a number of rail switches were replaced, whose function is to divert rails from one track to another.
