Public shelters opened in communities near Gaza, train service halted
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAuthorities in Ashkelon and communities near the Gaza Strip order the opening of public shelters in expectation of Israeli strikes in Gaza soon, Channel 12 reports.
Train service from Ashkelon to Sderot has been halted in light of the heightened tensions in the area following a rocket attack from Gaza that destroyed a home in central Israel, injuring seven people.
“By order of security officials, the train service from Ashkelon to Sderot has been stopped,” Israel Railways says in a statement. “The Ofakim, Netivot and Sderot stations will be closed until further notice.”
