Moreover, when you look at the earnings' table for IB flights, you get the additional clarification:

- Please, check routes and class restrictions in flights with IB code operated by other companies on each company table.
That makes it, imo, 100% clear that codeshares earn in IB+ only if the operating airline is itself an IB+ partner (and even then, there may be additional restrictions). El Al is clearly not an IB+ partner, hence why you do not earn on such flights.
