Seriously? Why would you be so skeptical of that?

Would you really bring your phone with you, when going out for a beer or coffee, even if it could easily result in you being forced to stay quarantined for 2 weeks?

Is your smartphone really that important to you?

Even though I have personally stayed socially distanced and worn a mask everywhere it was required, it makes perfect sense to me, after seeing how a lot of people have reacted to the pandemic, that a good portion of the population, would let their phone stay at home, so they would not risk a police enforced quarantine.

I do want to know whether I am exposed to COVId and get to be quarantined to not spread out the covid to others who I really take care of. Dont want to be a person that possibly make my family or friends sick.

Most people do. However, the precision of the Israeli system (Based IIUC on cell tower triangulation) was not good, meaning you'd have a nontrivial chance of getting randomly get flagged for 14 days quarantine (with legal consequences for not doing so); Some people were flagged multiple times within 3 months, and it's not entirely clear what the rate of FP was, but it was nontrivial.
