Template:Infobox Olympics Israel Israel has competed at the Olympic Games as a nation since 1952. Its National Olympic Committee was formed in 1933 during the British Mandate of Palestine. As the team represented the Jewish community, it boycotted the 1936 Games in Germany in protest of the Nazi Party's anti-Semitic policies. Israel has sent a team to each Summer Olympic Games since 1952 (except when they participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics) and to each Winter Olympic Games since 1994. In 1972, 11 members of the Israeli delegation were murdered by Black September terrorists.

Israel has been more successful at the Paralympic Games than at the Olympics. At the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens, Israelis won a total of thirteen medals, of which four gold. Izhak Mamistvalov won three medals (of which two gold) in swimming, while Keren Leibowitz won four medals, of which one gold, also in swimming.
