Map of the districts of Israel
Population density by geographic region, sub-district and district (thicker border indicates higher tier).
There are six main administrative districts of Israel, known in Hebrew as mehozot (; singular: mahoz) and fifteen sub-districts known as nafot (-; singular: nafa). Each sub-district is further divided into natural regions, of which there are 50.
The Golan sub-district, which contains 4 natural regions, is included in this amount, although it is not recognized by the UN to be Israeli territory. The Judea and Samaria Area, however, is not included, since Israel has not fully applied its jurisdiction there.

This area is the geographical classification for Israeli settlement in the West Bank other than East Jerusalem and the former Israeli - Jordanian no man's land area near Latrun. The area has been under Israeli control since the 1967 Six-Day War but not annexed by Israel. Many Israelis consider it part of the Land of Israel, but it is not considered part of the state of Israel by any nation or the UN. See Palestinian National Authority for the Palestinian administration.
