Israel Railways announced that due to ultra-Orthodox protesters entering the railway tracks in the Ganot area, train traffic in the region has been temporarily halted, causing delays and disruptions on routes across the country. Israel Railways emphasized that "a blockage at the Ganot junction affects all trains in the country - this is a main artery. Ganot is a central artery between the south, center and north. Anyone leaving Be'er Sheva, Ben Gurion Airport, Modi'in and Jerusalem cannot reach Tel Aviv or go north. All the soldiers returning from Be'er Sheva cannot travel."
