Yep
Soon in the spring there will be many butterflys that passing through here on some roads, few get on cars windows but it's very special view.

I don't have a field guide to the lepidoptera of your region but tomorrow I will try to narrow it down to family.

The first one may be in the Cossidae family or Erebidae.
The best guess I can give on the second is a type of sphinx moth.

Second one is definitely Sphingidae, check out Hyles livornica as a possibility. What part of Israel are you in, Roey? I spent a fun few months in Haifa about 15 years ago...
