If you are referring to Tamar who was a daughter-in-law and graddaughter-in-law of Jacob in Genesis then I'd say she was an Israelite. Hebrew, Jew and Israelite being interchangeable terms.

Jewish answer:

Our tradition is that Tamar was the daughter of Shem, born shortly before his death. She was pre-Hebrew and pre-Israelite. Because she and her father were servants of God (see Rashi commentary, Genesis ch.14) from the ancient tradition (one of the few tiny branches of mankind that never went over to idolatry), she was deemed worthy of marriage into Jacob's family.

Note that there is also a much later Tamar; a daughter of King David, who was Israelite.
