ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Israeli identity card

An Israeli identity card is like a special card that tells people who you are and where you're from. It's kind of like a superhero ID card, but for regular people like you and me.

When you're born in Israel, the government gives you a baby ID card. This card has your name, your parents' names, and your birth date on it.

When you turn 16, you get your permanent Israeli identity card. This is a very important card because it shows that you are a citizen of Israel. It has your name, your ID number, your photo, and other information about you.

You might need to show your Israeli identity card when you're opening a bank account, voting in elections, or going to see a doctor. It's like a passport, but you don't need to use it when you travel outside of Israel.

It's important to keep your Israeli identity card safe because if you lose it, you'll need to go to the government office to get a new one. Overall, this card helps the government keep track of who lives in Israel and helps you prove your identity when you need to.
