Starting tonight (Sunday), Israel Railways will operate 24-hour train service, in order to provide service to essential workers, security forces, and the general public - and to strengthen the ability of the Israeli economy to continue operating even during this complex period.

The service will operate within the framework of the special war schedules and will end with the return to normal.

Ministry of Transportation Director General Moshe Ben-Zaken noted that Transportation Minister Miri Regev's decision to operate the train at night comes in order to allow freedom of movement throughout the day as part of Operation "The Roar of the Lion.".

The service will operate throughout the night with a frequency of one train every hour in each direction, on two main routes connecting key areas of the country: Beer Sheva Central - Ben Gurion Airport - Tel Aviv Savidor Central - Haifa Hof Carmel, as well as Jerusalem Yitzhak Navon - Ben Gurion Airport - Tel Aviv Savidor Central.

Additionally, a free shuttle service will be operated throughout the night between Haifa, Carmel Beach and Nahariya in both directions.

The night lines join a significant expansion of Israel Railways' activity in recent days.

As of today, most train lines have resumed operation, train frequencies have been increased, and most train stations across the country have been opened for service.

Additional information about train traffic, stations open for service, and the special schedule can be found on the Israel Railways website, in the app, on the digital service channels, and by calling the service hotline at *5770.
