Israel and India may be sending landers to the Moon too. India has sent orbiters to the Moon and Mars. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Orbiter_Mission_2 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrayaan-2

An Israeli group got pretty far with an entry in the lunar lander XPrize. But the prize reached its deadline dates and expired. I hear they may be shopping for a deep space launch vehicle.

I think the Israeli group is SpaceIL, currently scheduled to launch (alongside a satellite) on a Falcon 9 in February. https://spaceflightnow.com/launch-schedule/
