Herzeliyya, Israel

Herzeliyya, Israel is a submarine cable landing point in Israel. One international cable system comes ashore here.

Why cable lands at Herzeliyya

All 1 systems landing here are domestic: they tie Herzeliyya into Israel's national network rather than crossing a border. The gap they close is internal reach, not international capacity, which is why none of them touches a foreign shore.

The systems in detail

Documented capacity and vintage vary across the roster: Israel Coasting 1 (IC-1) (340 km and in service since 2000). Facts for every system are on its own cable page.

What the concentration means for resilience

A single system lands here, so this point is a genuine dependency rather than a redundant one. Because these systems share the same short stretch of coast and shore infrastructure, a localized event at the landing zone can reach far more capacity than the cable count alone suggests. GeoCables tracks each of these systems individually for exactly this reason.

What our monitoring has recorded

GeoCables watches these systems continuously rather than describing them once. Since 2026-03-10 we have logged 127 route anomalies across 71 cable systems worldwide. None of the systems landing here has triggered a route anomaly in that window, a stability signal in its own right for a hub of this size. This section updates automatically the moment that changes, as it already has for the 71 other systems flagged across our coverage.

Latency, measured

From the GeoCables probe network, best-case round-trip time to Israel endpoints runs about 75 ms from Minsk, about 72 ms from Almaty and about 97 ms from Moscow. These are paths into Israel from our own vantage points, not a global average, and they shift as operators re-route.

Who depends on it

The largest access networks in Israel sit behind this coastal capacity: Bezeq- THE ISRAEL TELECOMMUNICATION CORP. LTD. (27.1% of users), Partner Communications Ltd. (23.8% of users), Hot-Net internet services Ltd. (20.1% of users) and Cellcom Fixed Line Communication L.P (19.5% of users). See the full national picture for Israel.

The coast around Herzeliyya

This landing point is part of a wider shoreline of connectivity. Within roughly 200 kilometres, the coast also hosts Tel Aviv (15 km away, 4 cable systems), Netanya (20 km away, 2 cable systems) and Rishon Le’Zion (21 km away, 1 cable system). Each of these sites brings its own cables ashore, and together they define how much independent capacity, and how much redundancy, this stretch of Israel really has: if one landing fails or a cable needs maintenance, traffic can often be carried through a neighbour.
