    Nahariya (Hebrew: נַהֲרִיָּה) is the northernmost coastal city in Israel. In 2017 it had a population of 56,071. The ruins of a 3,400-year-old Bronze Age citadel were found in the coastal city of Nahariya near the beach on Balfour Street,[2] at a site known to archaeologists as Khirbet Kabarsa.[3] The citadel was an administrative center serving the mariners who sailed along the Mediterranean coast. There is evidence of commercial and cultural relations with Cyprus and the rest of the Mediterranean region. The fortress was destroyed four times by conflagration and rebuilt each time.

    Tel Aviv Savidor Central railway station (Hebrew: תֵּל אָבִיב סָבִידוֹר מֶרְכָּז, Tel Aviv Savidor Merkaz, Arabic: تل أبيب مركز سافيدور‎) is the main central train station of Tel Aviv. It is one of the main railway hubs of Israel, located on the eastern side of Tel Aviv, at the border between Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan. The station was opened to the public in November 1954 under the name Tel Aviv Central, and throughout its history was widely known as Arlozorov station due to its location in the eastern end of Arlozorov street, Tel Aviv, and next to the Arlozorov Interchange of Ayalon Highway.

    The station serves most rail lines in Israel and has 6 passenger platforms—more than any other station in Israel—and is also the busiest in terms of passenger movements, serving a daily average of 70,073 passengers in December 2014. Despite not being a terminus for most lines, it serves as a terminal for travel to all parts of Israel. The station is located next to the 2000 Terminal in the west and the Diamond Exchange District (of Ramat Gan) in the east. Like all railway stations in Tel Aviv, the tracks lie between the southbound and northbound lanes of the Ayalon Highway. The tracks are connected by escalators, stairways and elevators for disabled persons to a bridge which connects them with the terminal building (on the Tel Aviv side) and the Diamond Exchange District (on the Ramat Gan side). In 2018 a northern access pavilion fronting Modaii bridge opened, adding a third passenger entry and exit point out of the station facilitating additional access to the Diamond Exchange District. An underground station of the future Red Line light rail is being built at the site to be opened by October 2021. An option exists of adding a fourth island platform at the station as part of the four-tracking project of the Ayalon Railway which would serve future tracks 7 and 8 starting in the late 2020s.

    The station is named after Menachem Savidor, Israel Railways' chairman between 1954–1964 and later the speaker of the Knesset.

    Tel Aviv HaShalom railway station (Hebrew: תַּחֲנַת תֵּל אָבִיב הַשָּלוֹם) is one of the busiest railway stations in Israel, serving most lines of Israel Railways. It is located on HaShalom Interchange over Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv. Opened in 1996, the station serves one of the most active business areas in Tel Aviv, as well as the HaKirya IDF base.

    Like in all four railway stations in Tel Aviv, the railway tracks are located between the southbound and northbound lanes of the Ayalon Highway. The station was originally built with two side platforms, separated by two tracks. On September 2, 2006 a third track was opened on the eastern side of platform 2 and the platform was widened, creating the island platform 2-3. The station building is located above the platforms and has two entrances: a primary entrance from HaShalom Road and a secondary one, a bridge connected directly to the Azrieli shopping mall. New exit-only stairways were opened in 2008, allowing to climb from the platforms directly to the southern side of HaShalom Road. This new exit considerably shortened the walking distance to the eastbound bus stops. As part of the four-tracking project of the Ayalon Railway, a fourth passenger platform will be built at the station by the late 2020s.

    Electronic boards display the timetable in the station building and in the Azrieli shopping mall. Electronic boards also exist on platforms 1 and 2 and display the next two trains departing from each platform.

    Tel Aviv HaHagana railway station is an Israel Railways station in Tel Aviv. It is Tel Aviv's southernmost railway station, located some 400 meters to the east of the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station. It is located between the lanes of the Ayalon Highway, just north of where Highway 1 splits from it. The station building fronts a road bridge above Ayalon Highway, connecting Lewinsky Street with HaHagana Road, hence the station's name. The station serves most Israel Railways lines, and its proximity to the central bus station makes it an important interchange hub. In September 2008 Tel Aviv HaHagana was the third-busiest railway station in Israel with 117,805 boarding and 185,064 alighting passengers, after Tel Aviv Savidor Central and Tel Aviv HaShalom.[1]

    The station was originally built with a single platform (tracks 1–2) designed as an island platform. The station building was constructed above the platform, but only half of its original design was built. Later another island platform (3–4) was added to the east of it, and the size of the station building was doubled, making it symmetrical. Finally, another side platform (5) was built, which together with platform 4, serve the new line to Rishon LeZion Moshe Dayan and Yavne West and Ashdod. As part of the four-tracking project of the Ayalon Railway, a sixth passenger platform will be built at the station by the late 2020s.

    Ramla railway station is a railway station in Ramla, Israel, on the Tel Aviv–Jerusalem line. The station is located in the east of Ramla. The station is also on a section shared with the Be'er Sheva–Tel Aviv line, which branches out in a southerly direction about 3 km east of Ramla.

    Kiryat Mal'akhi – Yoav railway station (Hebrew: תחנת רכבת קריית מלאכי – יואב‎) is a railway station in southern Israel, next to Kfar Menahem and Highway 6. It is named after the closest city, Kiryat Mal'akhi, and the adjoining Yoav Regional Council. It opened in late 2018.

    The station was envisioned as part of the renovation works for the railway to Beersheba,[1] but a budget had not been allocated, so only the station's platforms were originally built.

    In 2016, a tender was published for the construction of the station.[2] In 2017, the proposed name was changed from Kfar Menahem to Kiryat Mal'akhi – Yoav, despite it being located 14 km (8.7 mi) from the city.[3]

    The Lehavim–Rahat railway station is a station on the Israel Railways lines between Tel Aviv (and points north) and Beersheba, located near Lehavim Junction. The station was opened on June 23, 2007. It serves the suburb of Lehavim and the Bedouin city of Rahat.[1]

    The station was briefly renamed to Lehavim Railway Station, or Lehavim Center Railway Station,[2] although Rahat was added back to the name after a campaign led by Rahat's mayor, Talal al-Karnawi.

    The Beersheba Turkish railway station (Hebrew: תחנת הרכבת הטורקית בבאר שבע‎) is a historic railway station in the city of Beersheba, Israel, located west of the Old City. The station was opened in October 1915 during the Ottoman rule in Palestine and the Sinai and Palestine military campaign of World War I. The main Turkish objective in the Middle East during World War I was to either capture or disable the Suez Canal, which would have put the British Empire at a great disadvantage. However, transporting troops and supplies from Constantinople to the front lines took months by camel caravan.[1]

    After his ill-fated assault on the British garrison along the canal in January–February, 1915, Jamal Pasha enlisted the help of the German engineer Heinrich August Meissner, who also planned the Hejaz Railway, to help him find a more efficient method of logistics. Meissner started constructing a railway to the south of the Palestine region, with the Wadi Surar (Nahal Sorek) station serving as the starting point. Two railways were originally built: one to Beit Hanoun, and the other to Beersheba. The two lines were collectively called the 'Egyptian Branch'.[1]

    The Railway to Beersheba opened for traffic just 9 months from the start of construction. The rest of the planned Egyptian branch was never completed, although Meissner managed to continue the line from Beersheba further south to Kusseima in the Sinai Peninsula.
