First, it depends on the sense in which "Israel" is intended. It can be a reference to the modern Jewish State or it can be a reference to the Israelites in The Bible.

If you are talking about the modern country, in many cases, heroes have strong political baggage attached to them. So, while a person might be a hero to a group of Israelis, he or she may be equally reviled by a different community of Israelis. There are probably five Israelis who are heroes to the vast majority of Israelis, listed in order of birth: Chaim Weizmann (leader of the Zionist Congress and one of the major forces that brought about Israel's existence), David Ben-Gurion (first Prime Minister of Israel and heir to Weizmann's chair), Aubrey "ABBA" Eban (Israel's first UN Ambassador), Moshe Dayan (one of Israel's most important generals), and Yitzhak Rabin (Six Day War general and Prime Minister assassinated during peace negotiations with the Palestinians).
