I'm in Netanya tonight; I was planning on staying in the terminal Wednesday night. I suppose if I miss my flight they could put me on the 4pm but that's only if there's room AND if they even let that happen; also I'd really rather not be on that flight just due to the timing of it.

It's unlikely you'd be able to check in the day before. As to whether picking it up before checkin is feasible, it depends on your own risk tolerance and ability to deal with the consequences. The recommended arrival time is 3 hours before your flight, but those checkin lines can take an hour or more even arriving then; *somebody* has to be at the end, why not you arriving at the 2 hour mark? Certainly some people arrive late for various reasons.
Caveat -- I've always been there at the 3 hour mark, so don't know if they cut off entrance at some point (likely closer to 1hr before, I'd guess). Worst case the line/security questions take too much time, and you have to go out the next day. If I was travelling with my family on a carefully coordinated itinerary with connections etc, I'd worry more than if traveling alone and direct to my destination.
