My post-paid worked in Israel last month, but it was my understanding that prepaid is voice only. While I recognize that it is dangerous to compare Israel with its neighbors, this is fairly common in the Middle East. I'm not sure if it is to drive people to postpaid or for some security reason, but Lebanon and the UAE are the same way (personal knowledge). I have also been told (second hand knowledge) that many other countries in the region also don't offer data on prepaid.
