Carmel Tunnels

Carmel Tunnels tolls for private vehicles exceeded NIS 12 per section for the first time on Thursday, sparking driver outrage and protests as Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav vowed to fight the hike.

The Israel Fire and Rescue Authority (Coastal District) reported on Wednesday that the Carmel Tunnels in Haifa were closed in both directions due to a vehicle fire and heavy smoke.
