EPSG:6984 Israeli Grid 05

Projected system (Transverse Mercator) in use: Asia - Middle East - Israel and Palestine Territory onshore. The full definition below, and conversion in one click.

EPSG publishes no simple transformation to WGS 84 for this datum: conversion works on the ellipsoid alone and can be off by tens of metres.
