Israel Railways (רכבת ישראל) is the state-owned enterprise operating passenger and freight rail transport across Israel. Incorporated as an independent government company in 2003 (having previously operated under the Ports and Railways Authority), it is headquartered in Lod. As a wholly state-owned entity, it does not have publicly traded equity. The company employs thousands of workers across Israel.

The primary day-to-day operation is mass transit and cargo transport via the national heavy rail network. Beyond transport, Israel Railways acts as a major infrastructure developer. Its primary ongoing technological and engineering projects include the national electrification project—transitioning the rail network and rolling stock from diesel to electric traction—and the deployment of the European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2, which involves complex signaling, GSMR communication networks, and command-and-control integrations.

Israel Railways operates as a state monopoly for intercity heavy rail in Israel. It forms a crucial backbone of the national public transportation network, interfacing with municipal transit networks developed by organizations like NTA (Metropolitan Mass Transit System in Tel Aviv). Its operating budget and development funds are structured through direct agreements with the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Finance.

The company's corporate headquarters and main national command-and-control center are located at the railway complex in Lod. The operational footprint spans the entire country, from Nahariya in the north to Dimona in the south, including major maintenance depots in Lod, Haifa, and Beer Sheva. The workforce in Israel covers a broad spectrum of roles, from train drivers and station staff to civil engineers, signal technicians, IT professionals, and cybersecurity experts dedicated to protecting the sensitive operational technology (OT) networks governing train movements.
