From the Data WIKI:

Hot Mobile has only pre/postpaid contracts like Golan which they call "programs". They demand an Israeli ID number. If you don't have one, you can think of one online. They accept international credit cards.

The SIM card is 39 NIS, data is 0.13 NIS/MB.

Generally rates are not as good as Golan and the SIM is much harder to handle with a fake ID number and harder to disconnect as well, so tourists may prefer Golan and this option is only recommended if a local assists you.

But I will add their data-only rates, which are still a good value if someone dares to fake an Israeli ID.
