Spot checks.
They ask for an address upon landing ?

A lot of fake news.

Thursday is irrelevant.

Quarantine applies immediately to anybody entering Israel hence forward. No distinction between tourists and residents. Anybody without capacity to quarantine will be denied entry.

There is no retroactive requirement to quarantine for people who are already in Israel (unless they were previously required by being in a high risk area like Italy, and China, but not USA)

משרד הבריאות מבקש להבהיר -
1. החל מהיום 9.3.2020 בשעה 20:00, תושב ישראל השב לארץ מכל מדינה שהיא יהיה מחויב בבידוד בית למשך 14 יום ממועד חזרתו.

2. בהתאם לכך, החל ממועד זה, תתאפשר כניסתם של מי שאינם תושבי ישראל רק אם יש להם יכולת מוכחת לבידוד בית בהתאם להנחיות משרד הבריאות.

3. לגבי תיירים הנמצאים בישראל, יינתן להם זמן לעזוב את ישראל באופן מסודר בימים הקרובים. עד למועד עזיבתם הם יחויבו בשמירה על 5 כללים:
• אם יש תסמינים – יש להתקשר למד"א באופן מידי.
• להקפיד הקפדה יתירה על היגיינה.
• להימנע ככל הניתן מהתקהלויות.
• לא ניתן לצאת למדינות שכנות ולחזור לישראל.
• יש לתעד את מסלול השהייה בישראל.
4. מי ששב לישראל ממדינות אחרות ב-14 יום האחרונים, ואינו נמצא כבר בבידוד בית על פי הוראות משרד הבריאות, אינו מחויב בבידוד בית, אך אם הוא יחוש בתסמיני המחלה, הוא מחויב להיכנס לבידוד בית באופן מידי וליצור קשר עם מד"א להמשך בירור רפואי.
5. יובהר, כי אנשים שנמצאים כבר בבידוד על פי הוראות קודמות של משרד הבריאות – ימשיכו את הבידוד עד להשלמת 14 יום ממועד חזרתם לארץ.

The statement only came out after the fake news spread.

They are all wrong. Hence UA84 isn't taking off.

I guess we'll see soon enough.
But UA84 delay is probably due to pax leaving the plane and needing their luggage.

Israel just announced their 50th victim.

Israel can afford to experiment with this, with it being such a small part of global commerce, and everything going down the drain either way.

Thanks, so UA is seeking clarification. Makes sense.

If someone is booked LY tlv-nyc would you think that elal will be consolidating flights, or just leaving people without options?

CEO announced for the time being they will maintain flights and adjust according to demand.

What does this mean for travel insurance?
Normally they will allow you to cancel if government recommends 'all but essential travel'.
Here where it's the visiting country that has the issue, will they refund bookings for Airbnb and hotels?

Looked at the seat map, it's almost empty, don't know what it was before, but this looks unusual.

Is it safe to say that foreigners planning to go to Israel for Pesach should cancel their plans?  Or is this like the Purim story -- will this decree be annulled???

I'd say the odds of this being lifted before Pesach are quite small.

If anyone chances to fly to Israel from USA over the next week or two, I'd love to hear what the flight load looks like and then what the arrival experience is like.
