Security forces removed an object placed on the railway lines between Acre and Karmiel in the western Galilee and arrested a resident of the area in his 20s who was being questioned by the Shin Bet.
"There is no doubt a major incident was averted," the source said. "A train traveling between 120 and 140 kilometer per hour (74 and 87 miles per hour) and collides with an obstruction, can be derailed and its cars could be turned over because the driver would have no time or place to slow down," he said.
