Dear R.S. Shorrosh,
Your insect is a Red Bug, Pyrrhocoris apterus, and it is commonly called a Firebug.  According to TrekNature, it “is a common bug in Israel. Its an Euro-Siberian species.  It can be found all over the Mediterranean region in Israel in high densities. It feeds of fruit juice and dead insect haemolymph.”
