The honest guide to eSIMs for Israel.

Why this site exists
We got tired of bad guides.
Most "best eSIM for Israel" articles are written by people who've never been here. They confuse the West Bank coverage situation. They miss that the Cellcom kiosk at Ben Gurion now charges 80 ₪ per GB. They don't mention that Holafly's unlimited plan throttles after 500 MB/day on slower networks.
ShalomSim is run from Israel, updated whenever pricing changes, and only recommends what we'd recommend to a friend landing tomorrow.
