Electricity and sockets
You will need an adapter for Types C and H. Plugs from the UK do not fit the sockets in Israel.
Sockets at the destination
Travelling in Israel you will meet Types C and H sockets, fed with 230 V at 50 Hz. At 230 V the supply matches what UK and European appliances expect, so no converter is needed.
The same socket system is used in Palestine, so one adapter covers all of them. Watch out when moving on: Hong Kong, Oman and Saudi Arabia use a completely different system. In Asia, 2 of 50 recorded destinations use exactly this combination.
Protective earth
Not every socket in Israel is earthed: Type H yes, Type C no. Class I appliances belong in an earthed outlet.
