Bag check times for TLV-JFK?

Hey yall! I'm on Taglit and my trip ends tomorrow, but I've extended my ticket until Thursday morning so I could visit Haifa on my own. I was wondering how early/late does El Al allow you to check your luggage?

I'm on the 10:40am flight on Thursday; would they let me check my bag around 1pm tomorrow (Wednesday -- it's within 24 hrs of departure)?

Alternatively, I found on a website that there's luggage storage in one of the parking lots but it only operates from 8am to 8pm; would I be able to check my bag in at 8:20am or so (need time to get the bag and go to the terminal) -- 2 hours prior to departure?

I know this is very last-minute but that seems to be how a lot of things worked on this trip; I only extended my ticket earlier today! I hope I can make this work; in the worst case I could simply roll my bag around Haifa I suppose, although I'd much rather not.

Thanks in advance for any advice or tips!

-J.
