Country
Israel
Israel lets you sell images of architecture and public sculpture, but not 2D public art, and military and religious-site rules are the bigger constraints.

Drone / airspace

For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes in public, with a defense where a person appears by chance; commercial use of an identifiable image needs consent
Be sensitive in ultra-Orthodox areas and at religious sites, and on Shabbat at the Western Wall.
Freedom of panorama
Full, with limits
Copyright Act 5768-2007 Section 23 permits depicting architecture, sculpture, and applied art permanently in public, including commercial use. It does not cover 2D works like murals.
Practical notes
- Military, border, and security sites are the biggest trap: never photograph bases, checkpoints, or on-duty security.
- Expect photography bans at the Western Wall and holy sites on Shabbat and holidays, and permits for commercial heritage shoots.
