No, they operate cargo only flights. They intended to resume passenger flights earlier this month, but retracted that plan when the Israeli government extended the foreign ban and the quarantine requirements.

Although Israel is the third safest country for Covid in the world ( according to Forbes), the reality is that many governments are now factoring opening up their economies with an "acceptable" loss of life. The extent of the spread of Covid in the UK is enough for any other country to pause before allowing us to travel to them, however, the economic reality will probably outweigh all other factors sooner rather than later.

New Zealand drops Covid-19 restrictions after nation declared 'virus-free'
Strict border controls will remain in place for New Zealand, with Ardern warning that she had no timeline for removing them as they were, she said, the country’s best line of defence. Only New Zealanders and their immediate families can enter the country currently, and must spend 14 days in government-run quarantine.

Israel is reopening to Greece on August 1st. Wonder how many others will be added to this?
I was concerned Israel was going to be another Australia/NZ of shut down forever but seems maybe things are looking up!
