Do intl-inl transfers need to clear immigration and emigration (as in PVG) or is it more like HKG?

Also, one option is to have a two-hour layover (arrive at 5 AM, depart at 8 AM) but outbound would be TLV-LHR-MAD, with LHR-MAD in Y. Another option is an 11-hour layover, departing at 4:30 TLV-MAD in J. Not sure which is worse: a flight in Y or 11 hours at an airport
