Israel 5 digit postal codes rather than 7

Question

Similar to Here maps geocode wrong postal codes for Israel.

7 digits is claimed on https://developer.here.com/documentation/geocoder/dev_guide/topics/coverage-geocoder.html but only 5 digits are returned.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_codes_in_Israel claims 5 digit postal codes where phased out in 2013. So package carriers require 7 digit postal codes.

Can we expect HERE.com geocode offering to update to 7 digit postal codes in the near future? If not, the dev guide expectation should be updated to match reality.

You can use Google Geocoding APIs

I picked a random point in Israel, and shows the postal code in 7 digits, as desired:

כניסה מרחוב בקצה, Nahal Avnon St 14, Yeruham, 8051869, Israel

Or you could even use a no token related webservice e.g. geocode.xyz/your_address?geoit=xml – Survance
