According to a report initially released by the Israeli channel 12 , the central server of Israeli railway is out of service and trains cannot leave stations by 9 pm or more.

Also channel 13 of Israeli TV reported that engineers of the Israeli railway system are confused and are in consultation with their colleagues worldwide to find the cause of disruption and solve the problem as soon as possible.

The channel also asked people to find alternative transportation means to reach their destinations.

Meantime, Maarive reported that the disruption is not a normal incident and the central server which controls trains' movement is totally out of access.
