Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTrains are still not running from Ashkelon to the southern city of Sderot, for fear of anti-tank missile attacks from across the Gaza Strip border, the army says.
The Defense Ministry is requiring that Israel Railways provide protection for the line before opening it to passengers again.
According to Israel Railways, the line has not run since yesterday.
Home Front Command says its safety instructions remain in place and adds that precautions should still be taken in the south and in towns adjacent to the Gaza border.
