What happens if I overstay my tourist visa in Israel?

If you overstay a B/2 tourist visa, the Population and Immigration Authority (PIBA) may issue a deportation order under Section 13 of the Entry into Israel Law 5712-1952. You also face a daily overstay fine, a potential multi-year entry ban upon departure, and in some cases detention. Voluntary departure before PIBA detains you is always the better option and typically results in a shorter entry ban and lower fine.
