Postal codes in Israel

Postal codes in Israel (Hebrew: מיקוד‎, Mikud) are seven digit numeric postal codes in use in Israel. Each postal code corresponds to a mail carrier route or RR, thus, when the letters are sorted by the postal code, they are assigned to a specific carrier.

2-digit postcode areas Israel (defined through the first two postal code digits)

Postal codes are assigned by Israel Post generally from north to south, with the first two postal code digits being the postcode areas — thus, Metula in the north has 1029200 as its postal code, and Eilat in the south was assigned 88xxxxx. Jerusalem postal codes start with the digit 9, although this does not correspond with its geographical location.

Army unit postal codes start with a 0 and are not changed even if a unit is roaming.

History

In March 2012, Israel Post announced a change to 7-digit postal codes, with an implementation date of 5 December 2012, but which was postponed to 1 February 2013. Officially the 5-digit codes remained valid until 31 January 2013, though they continue to be widely used.[1][2]

gollark: Not sure where you'd expect it to get the times from, though.
gollark: I can probably program something if you're specific about your requirements.
gollark: There are projects you could do which might *actually* be useful and not too hard to do, and you should consider those instead of trying to blindly ape Windows and stuff for the 129712815261th CC OS.
gollark: <@630513495003103242> Useful "OS"es are hard to develop because they involve somewhat fiddly programming stuff generally, like, well, screen sharing, networking, that sort of thing. If you don't have a decent knowledge base making a useful OS is going to be hard, and OSes, being complex, are not a good way to learn.
