Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael Railways announces that dozens of trains have been cancelled after 35 drivers called in “sick.”
The rail company is accusing the drivers of holding an illegal strike, which began on Saturday night, when the drivers first notified that they were ill.
On Sunday, 13 trains were cancelled due to the lack of drivers. Today, 21 trains between Rishon Lezion and Lod have been cancelled, along with nine trains between Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh.
