Israel

Israel’s identifiers include the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code IL and alpha-3 code ISR, used in shipping documents, databases, and international trade. The Israeli New Shekel (ILS) is the official currency, essential for financial transactions and business invoicing. To call Israel from abroad, the country code +972 must be dialed before the local number. The country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) is .il, used for local domain registration and web presence. These codes are critical in logistics, e-commerce, banking, and telecommunications, ensuring accurate routing of calls, data, payments, and shipments. Using the correct codes—IL, ISR, +972, ILS, and .il—is standard practice in any professional or technical context involving Israel.
