Israel Railways announced that due to infrastructure work, train service between Netanya and Hadera West stations will be temporarily suspended on Friday, the 28th of this month, and continuous travel on the coastal line (Haifa-Tel Aviv) will not be possible. The company stated that "Railways will provide free shuttle services from stations where activity is suspended, but arrival to the final destination is expected to be delayed from the original time. Other lines, including Ben Gurion Airport-Nahariya, Beer Sheva-Nahariya, and Ashkelon-Nahariya, will also be affected by the closure of Netanya and Hadera stations, and travel on these lines will be split and not direct. Train traffic will return to normal on Saturday night, the 29th of the month, when service resumes."
