I had a flight with them in Feb from WAW - TLV that was canceled.
Took them 4 weeks to reply to my email, they are only refunding me the cost for hotel and car.
No compensation.

Look what I wrote to them:
Quote
The judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Tui & others v CAA confirmed the applicability of compensation for delay as set out in the Sturgeon case. As such, I am seeking compensation under EC Regulation 261/2004 for this delayed flight.

Our scheduled flight length was 2507 kilometres – [see here if you need to check flight length http://gc.kls2.com/], therefore I am seeking  €400 per delayed passenger in my party. (Because it's more then 1500km but less than 3500km).
The total compensation sought is €2,000.

Anyone have experience taking them to court?

Is this labor related?

no, its because they don't have the aircrafts available, to do the busy summer schedule.

TLV - JFK tonight delayed to 4:45. Is JFK - TLV 12:00 tomorrow the same aircraft & it's going to be delayed as well or nothing to do with each other?

Also what's with all the delays tonight? Sounds like chaos.

(Bloomberg) -- There may be restrictions on traffic in Israeli airspace this afternoon and evening due to planned, routine Defense Ministry activity, ministry says in text message.
NOTE: There were similar restrictions on Monday
