Link to form that needs to be filled out within 48 hours of flight to Israel

Accordingly, the FINAL criteria For entering Israel are as follows - you must meet ONE of these conditions in order to enter Israel:

1. Vaccinated within 180 days of the trip with either a second vaccine or a booster and it must be at least 14 days after the shot.

2. Recovered within 180 days of the trip with DIGITAL proof of a positive PCR result and more than 11 days have passed since the positive result. This type of proof only exists in the EU. The UK will likely have it as well.

3. Recovered anytime – even more than 180 days before the trip - with DIGITAL proof of positive PCR result AND vaccinated with at least one dose within 180 days of the trip. Again at the moment the digital proof only exists in the EU and possibly the UK shortly.

Your vaccination or recovery CANNOT expire while in Israel, which means you may not be in Israel more than 180 days after your vaccine or recovery have expired.

CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATING THE TERMS OF ENTRY: VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA CAN MEAN SANCTIONS INCLUDING BARRING YOUR ENTRY TO ISRAEL FOR 5 YEARS.

Is this for real?

Reminds me of the line to enter Costco during the hight of COVID-19 lockdown in NY.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

You will need an Israeli antibody test (supposedly being introduced at the airport, though I would wait to get information about turnaround times for results) and a PCR test upon landing. Ostensibly you should be able to exit quarantine once both those results are recorded with the MOH. You might need to actually submit the results and apply for quarantine exemption.
to build on this question: from what we know now , if I get a booster shot after having gotten 2nd dose, do I not need those 2 items(antibody,pcr) ?
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

Crazy.
That's Kikar dizengoff, where 1) it's open until 2am, 2) no appointment required, and 3) not run by the HMO.

I got vaccinated with no line the same morning before they opened vaccination to all ages (and the cancellation of quarantine requirements )  ::)

I'm hoping they'll allow those of us with doses outside israel to just get another serology test when we land to prove that the third shot was taken.
Likewise, but it will take time to establish an antibody titer that would prove it, if it's even possible.

Safra Square in Jlem had similar policies and lines.
Some of it has to do with open access to foreigners not in Israeli healthcare system who would have a hard time getting it elsewhere

Can Israelis living abroad and got vaxxed abroad, show up at places like Safra and receive the 3rd shot?
I'm assuming it's more complicated than that...

They'll get the 3rd shot easily, question is about updating it correctly in the system.

We are scheduled to fly out of Ben-Gurion airport at 6:15 AM on Wednesday, has anybody departed early in the morning recently? How bad was security? Trying to figure out when we should get there… Thanks!

officially the moh will say that if you got one in israel they will recognize the other shot in america and give a green pass based on vaccine.
i think they say that so you hang up the phone.
they say that they will send you a form to fill out.
lol.
Also to note that they wont give you a green pass based off of antibodies, if they have in their system that you only got one (now 2) shot in israel. cuz they claim you got the antibodies from that shot.

What's not clear? They basically translated the MoH announcement, and know nothing about people vaccinated abroad since there has not been any announcement yet

I wrote to the MoH, they answered this:
 
**** לגבי מי שהתחסן/החלים בחו"ל ולא
בישראל, לא ידוע בשלב זה ויש להתעדכן לקראת 3.9...

Regarding this:
They'll get the 3rd shot easily, question is about updating it correctly in the system.
They answered:

כן, אם אין להם קופה בישראל הם צריכים לשלוח תיעוד חיסונים למשרד הבריאות בטופס מקוון
https://govforms.gov.il/mw/forms/QuarantineExceptionExit@health.gov.il?utm_source=go.gov.il&utm_medium=referral

Not sure how this form has anything to do with my question but who knows

First of all, the front line agents generally know nothing.
That form has sort of become the catch all for getting in touch with them for all of these things.

I already learned during my last visit that מוקד קול הבריאות is about as useful as those buttons next to crosswalks. One might think they are getting some outcome by pressing them, but it's just a way to let out some energy and frustration (or get more frustrated) while waiting for the eventual outcome, on which the actions have no effect.

It's not just them and it's just not covid.. Try importing OTC medication some time and see what happens
