I doubt that there are departures (and even more so arrivals) on 03 and 08 is closed anyway. I think that what you hear are the aircrafts on approach to 21 that do fly somewhat north of Ra'anana. You could check Flightradar24 and see the pattern.
EDIT - Forgot another piece of information. Arrivals from the south (ETH, LY flights from BKK etc.) and from the east (mostly RJ) fly over TLV and then over circle on the vicinity of Ra'anana and join the approach to 21.
