When LY started its ETH route, they were not allowed to use bigger equipement than the 73G (because they were not allowed to exceed 400 pax per day each direction IIRC due to IZ and ISR). So, LY dedicated a 73G on this route.
But later, this became untrue: LY used 738s and even 757s.
Why?

Maybe they are now allowed to exceed 400 pax per day?
I am booked on ETH-TLV in couple of weeks and it's showing as B738 at the moment.

They can definitely exceed that, as the IAA allowed an additional daily flight on this route
