Akko, Shavit (Hakishon) and Tel-Aviv are highly crowded. A visiting yacht (after competing entry procedures) may find a visitors berth for a short stay of a day or two. Better bets on the Med shore are Herzlia, Ashdod & Ashqelon.

Once you are checked into Israel, you will be issued a cruising permit which allows you to sail and anchor along the coast.  Substantially all of the anchorages are open roadsteads suitable for anchoring only in very fair weather.  Ask the locals who will be eager to advise you.  Useless to ask at the marina office.
