What Plug and Travel Adapter Do I Need for Israel?
Israel uses the Type H plug. Travelers bringing U.S. plugs need a US-to-Israel Type H power adapter or travel adapter for outlets in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Eilat, and everywhere else in Israel.
U.S. Type A and Type B plugs do not fit Type H outlets without an adapter. The adapter changes the plug shape from the U.S. configuration to the Israeli Type H configuration.
