Here maps geocode wrong postal codes for Israel

Question

I've just started checking the Here Geocode API and it looks really nice, although I experience an issue with postal codes for Israel: instead of 7-digits codes, it returns only 5 digits.

Tried it via REST:

https://geocoder.api.here.com/6.2/geocode.json?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&app_code=YOUR_APP_CODE&searchtext=הרצל+50+חיפה

returns postal code 33211

while the actual postal code, according to Israel Post website is 3321103

Is this the API problem or do I miss something?

Is support for 7-digit postal codes planned? If so, is there a timeline? – Nic
