Population density by geographic region, sub-district and district (thicker border indicates higher tier).


There are six main administrative districts of Israel, known in Hebrew as mehozot (מחוזות; singular: mahoz) and fifteen sub-districts known as nafot (נפות; singular: nafa). Each sub-district is further divided into natural regions, of which there are 50.

The Golan sub-district, which contains 4 natural regions, is included in this amount, although it is not recognized by the UN to be Israeli territory. The Judea and Samaria Area, however, is not included, since Israel has not fully applied its jurisdiction there.

The area has been under Israeli control since the 1967 Six-Day War but not annexed by Israel. Many Israelis consider it part of the Land of Israel, but it is not considered part of the state of Israel by any nation or the UN. See Palestinian National Authority for the Palestinian administration.
