==History==
[[File:Paralimpiadi di Roma 1960 - La rappresentanza israeliana.jpg|thumb|Israeli paralympics team, 1960]]
Israel first competed in 1960, at the [[1960 Summer Paralympics|Summer Games]] in [[Rome]], [[Italy]]. As of 2024, Israel has won a total of 394 medals: 133 gold, 127 silver, and 134 bronze, ranking 18th on the all-time Paralympic medal table.  

The most successful Israeli Paralympian was [[Zipora Rubin-Rosenbaum]], who, between 1964 and 1988, won 31 medals at the Paralympic Games, of which 15 were gold. Second successful Israeli Paralympian was [[Uri Bergman]], who, between 1976 and 1988, won 15 medals at the Paralympic Games, of which 12 were gold.

[[Tel Aviv]] was the host city of the [[1968 Summer Paralympics]], at which Israel finished third on the medal chart with 62 medals, of which 18 were gold. Israel is the only nation to have hosted Paralympic but not Olympic Games.

[[Izhak Mamistvalov]] won three medals (of which two were gold) in swimming, while [[Keren Leibowitz]] won four medals, of which one was gold, also in swimming.<ref>[http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Israel+beyond+politics/Israels+disabled+athletes+win+medals+in+Athens+Sept+2004.htm "Israel's disabled athletes win medals in Athens"], Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, September 26, 2004</ref>

Israel made [[Israel at the 2022 Winter Paralympics|its debut]] at the Winter Paralympics in March 2022.

At the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, Israel achieved its best result in two decades, winning 10 medals: 4 gold, 2 silver, and 4 bronze.
