Chaim V’Chessed’s list of entry requirements to Israel can be found here.

However, if you are traveling via a third country, you must clarify their entry requirements. Many countries allow travelers to transfer through the country without meeting entry requirements; however, some do not. 

For example, Germany requires a pre-flight test for unvaccinated passengers.This is especially applicable to those who are Israeli citizens, residents, or visa holders who are exempt from the pre-flight test for entry to Israel. Still, if they cannot provide proof of vaccination, they are required to provide a negative Covid test.

Contact your airline to clarify requirements before travel.
