Aiming to be one of the biggest WordCamp gatherings in the world, WordCamp Israel 2008 (English) reports they have 560 reigstrants for their WordPress event on November 16, 2008, at the Z.O.A. House in Tel Aviv.

This is going to be one of the most exciting WordPress events, bringing together WordPress and blogging enthusiasts, WordPress Theme designers, WordPress Plugin authors, social media and SEO experts, and powerful web tech folks in the Middle East.

They are working on getting video uploaded as soon as possible after the event, and there might be some live streaming if bandwidth allows. Unfortunately, most of the presentations will be in Hebrew. Would be nice if there was an English translation to the video.

Either way, expect the event to rock the WordPress Community.
