The CCTV footage, which Channel 2 acquired exclusively from the Israeli Railroad Company, shows the woman, circled in red, as she appears to approach the tracks and a railway guard to the right of the screen tries to signal to her.

She then appears to lie down on the tracks as a high speed train hurtles over her for several seconds.

Incredibly after the train passes, she appears to get up and walk away.

According to Channel 2, police later caught up with the woman and escorted her to a local hospital were she received minor medical treatment for bruising to the head, and then was moved to psychiatric hospital in Northern Israel for further evaluation.
