The Olympic Committee of Israel was founded in 1933 and was admitted to the International Olympic Committee in 1952 . Israel first took part in an Olympiad in 1952 at the 1952 Summer Olympics.
At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich , the Israeli team met with a tragic fate when 11 athletes were murdered by PLO terrorists .
In 1978 Israel was excluded from Asian sports federations. Admission to most European associations was refused by the Eastern Bloc countries . The Israeli national team had to participate in the Olympic qualification in the group for Oceania in the following years.

At the 2004 Olympics in Athens , the favorite Iranian judoka Arash Miresmaeili refused to compete against his Israeli first-round opponent Ehud Vaks and was thus eliminated from the Olympic tournament without having fought .
The Iranian swimmer Mohammad Alirezaei decided not to start in the men's 100 m chest run at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing because Israeli Tom Beeri was also registered in this run.
