Israel in the main confirmed datasets makes a jump of around 100%, compare that to the wikipedia source which gives the following increase: 1,442, 1,930, 2,369, 2,693 (Last number is the same, so looks like the source was switched)

In commit 053cbb48dfb8ad3c3e0959caeb3a96944ce05944 there are suspicious changes for Israel, the new numbers create an unexplainable gap in the daily increase from 25 to 26. They also contradict the official Israeli news sites such as ynet.co.il and calcalist.co.il The former claims the data provided by the Ministry of Health. They also provide additional numbers such as a number of critical conditions.

Some examples: 19/03/2020 Calcalist reports 677 confirmed cases: https://www.calcalist.co.il/local/articles/0,7340,L-3803252,00.html 23/03/2020 - 1442 https://www.calcalist.co.il/local/articles/0,7340,L-3802996,00.html 24/03/2020 - 1930: https://www.calcalist.co.il/local/articles/0,7340,L-3803252,00.html 25/03/2020 - 2369: https://www.calcalist.co.il/local/articles/0,7340,L-3803473,00.html

Can we rely on the previous numbers and restore them back? Anyway, it's already in news :)

Also noticed that Israel numbers have changed retroactively. Today noticed that Israel confirmed cases stats seem to vary from this set which is credited as source:CDC Europe - https://ourworldindata.org/78da3a93-b2b4-4d49-987c-d71b05424d6c
