Sderot trains to be fortified
The Transportation Ministry announces that the Sderot train line will be closed until further notice due to the fortification of the trains to protect passengers from anti-tank missiles, according to Ynet.
The ministry says the construction should be completed in the coming days.
Yesterday, the Defense Ministry said the train line would be closed, but offered no explanation.
Shuttles to Ashkelon have been provided for the Sderot residents inconvenienced by the move.
