Israel Railways says 10 stations remain closed today after its signal system was damaged when a tractor hit a communications system near the central city of Lod.

The stations affected include Yavne East, Rehovot, Beer Yaakov, Kfar Chabad, Lod, Ramle, Lod Ganei Aviv, Beit Shemesh, Mazkeret Batya, and Kiryat Malachi.

The railway says normal service is expected only in the afternoon.
