In addition, please check that your medical insurance (mandatory) covers you while you are in Israel, and specifically includes all COVID19-related treatments

Travelling in Israel requires each participant to be in good health and able to walk, as many sites are unfortunately not accessible to people in wheelchairs or those who have difficulty walking.
