Validates and generates Israeli identification numbers including:
- Teudat Zehut (personal ID) - 9 digits, Luhn check digit
- Corporate / registered-entity numbers - 9 digits starting with 5, where the
  second digit selects the type (50-59: government/private/public company,

  society, amuta, endowment). All types share the same check-digit algorithm.

Usage:
