Israel's internet in numbers

Four questions that sound alike

The figures above answer different questions, and the numbers differ because of it. None of them proves where a particular person or device is.

Registered in Israel

The registry (RIPE NCC) lists the holder of the block with country code IL. It says who holds the addresses, not where they are used.

Geolocated to Israel

A geolocation database (here DB-IP Lite) estimates that the block is used in Israel. Foreign-registered blocks can be geolocated here, and Israeli-registered blocks can be used abroad.

Announced by an Israeli network

A network whose AS number is registered in Israel originates the route in BGP. Israeli providers also announce blocks registered abroad, such as the content-delivery caches they host.

Physically in Israel

Where the equipment or the person actually is. No public dataset can establish this for an address; only the network operator knows.

Israeli networks by announced IPv4 space

AS numbers registered to organisations in Israel, ranked by the IPv4 address space they originate in our copy of the BGP table. The names are those in the registry; one operator often runs several AS numbers (fixed, mobile, international, business).

Where Israeli IPv4 addresses are estimated to be used

IPv4 addresses that DB-IP Lite places in Israel, summed per district. This is a location estimate for address blocks, usually where the provider's equipment is, not where people live.

DB-IP labels Israeli ranges with the six districts (ISO 3166-2:IL) and, for a small number of places, with “Judea and Samaria Area”, which is not an ISO district: that label is shown as the source writes it and is never merged into a district. Ranges the source assigns to another country code are not counted here. The Tel Aviv and Central districts' large share reflects where the providers' central equipment and data centres are (Tel Aviv, Petah Tikva, Rosh HaAyin), not where their customers live.

Where Israeli networks meet

Networks exchange traffic directly at internet exchange points (IXPs) instead of carrying it abroad and back over the submarine cables. Israel's exchanges are run by ISOC-IL and by ixFabric.

Who does what

• RIPE NCC

  The regional internet registry for Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia, based in Amsterdam. It allocates IPv4 and IPv6 blocks and AS numbers to Israeli operators and publishes who holds them.

• ISOC-IL

  The Israel Internet Association manages the .il country-code domain and runs the IIX and IL-IX exchanges. Registration data for .il domains is published over WHOIS (whois.isoc.org.il); IANA's RDAP registry lists no RDAP server for .il.

• Ministry of Communications

  Licenses and regulates telecommunications in Israel, including internet access providers and infrastructure owners. It does not allocate IP addresses.

• IUCC (Machba)

  The Inter-University Computation Center runs Israel's national research and education network (AS378), which connects the universities, among them the Hebrew University (128.139.0.0/16).

• Privacy Protection Authority

  Israel's data protection regulator, under the Ministry of Justice. It enforces the Protection of Privacy Law, which since Amendment 13 (in force 14 August 2025) treats identifiers such as IP addresses as personal information.

• National Cyber Directorate

  The national cyber-security authority. It runs CERT-IL, the national computer emergency response team, which takes incident reports from the public and from organisations.
