A fire near a railway line in Tel Aviv is causing delays to trains running through the city with a knock-on effect of heavy traffic jams in the area.
Israel Railways says the fire damaged signaling equipment near the Rokah junction.
The fire has been extinguished and railway staff are working to repair the equipment and “restore scheduled services.”
It was not immediately clear what caused the fire.
