How to Report City Problems in Israel: 106 Hotline, Municipal Apps and Neighbor Updates

Daily city problems are often small but annoying: a broken streetlight, overflowing bin, fallen tree branch, water leak, dangerous sidewalk, noise, stray animal, or blocked public space. In many Israeli cities, the official way to report these issues is through the municipal 106 hotline, municipal website, or city app. Iri can help neighbors understand whether others are affected and whether someone has already reported the issue.

Start with the municipality

Many municipalities operate a 106 service center. For example, Tel Aviv-Yafo’s Municipal Service Center page explains that the 106 call center is available for city-life inquiries. Its municipal services page for new residents also explains that residents can dial 106 to report a problem or ask for information.

Jerusalem has 106 online services and information about the Jerusalem +106 app. Other cities usually have their own equivalent service center, app, or online form.

What to include in a report

Give the exact address, nearby landmark, photos if possible, date, time, and a short description. If the problem is dangerous, say that clearly. For emergencies, use the relevant emergency number rather than a general municipal service request.

Why neighbors help

Neighbors can confirm whether the issue affects one building, one street, or a wider area. They may also know whether the problem was already reported, which municipal channel responds fastest, and whether the same issue has happened before.

What to ask neighbors on Iri

• Has anyone else reported this broken streetlight or garbage issue?
• Which 106 channel works fastest in this city?
• Is this issue only in our building, street, or the whole neighborhood?

Important: official websites and emergency authorities should always be treated as the source of truth. Iri is useful for local experience, neighbor recommendations, and practical updates, but it does not replace official instructions.

Ask your city on Iri: local life is easier when official information and neighbor knowledge work together. Open Iri, choose your city, and ask people nearby what they know from real experience.
