> The vaccines were sufficiently effective to let Israel skip the alpha wave altogether with ~70% of the population covered.

The Alpha wave occurred in Jan 2021, did happen in Israel, and at the time they only had ~10% fully vaccinated (~25% partially).

Compare the evolution of the alpha wave in Israel, France and Lebanon. Israel, had also drastically cut down on community measures like lockdowns, curfews and closure of non-necessary businesses.
