Peak season:

A great time to fly to Israel would be between late spring and fall since this provides visitors with warm weather, that isn’t oppressively hot. The peak tourist season in Israel, however, is summer, which runs from July through August, but be sure to pack a hat and loads of sunscreen since the summer months can be scorchers! In terms of weather, crowds, and rates, the best time to fly to Israel would probably be in May.

Off season:

Israel’s winter months, which run from late October to late February, are when the country experiences it’s off season, mainly because temperatures drop slightly and bring on rains.
