Pretty sure the only reliable way to get to Israel now is thru Elal, which means paying the price...

Though I'll be happy to hear someone disagreeing with me!

I don't know where you are flying from, but I booked a ticket about 6 weeks ago to fly in a few week via elal and it was in the $1400 range. Siblings are flying from Newark and it was $1300 something.

The closer you book the more expensive

I use skyscanner - and now you do not need to shell out the money for only elal direct

You can go to any major european city and do a long stopover ( I do 24 hours) take, a hotel and then fly elal, arkia, or israair ( they are israeli low cost airlines) and they are just as reliable as elal.

Or use another airline with a stopover - when flew the day after the ballistic missiles with ITA and they did not cancel. The tickets are refundable if something does happen....

Just a warning that Arkia is not reliable at all. They cancel flights on a whim, for no particular reason, and just leave you hanging. Unless you're okay waiting a day or two for a connecting flight, I'd steer clear of them.

Sorry.
My sister in the states was looking for tickets to Israel. Her dd in Israel was also looking for tickets for my sister. They found the same tickets but for my niece in Israel the total was $400 less than the total my sister was getting. So my niece bought the tickets for her mom.
No idea why they were cheaper bought from a computer in Israel than a computer in the states, but they saved $400.
