It is some kind of
Merodon. Wouldn't know which one... though it looks quite peculiar. Guess you didn't catch it?

No I don't usually collect diptera :)
Here another view on hind femur maybe it could help.

The species does look typical, but I am not familiar with Israeli Merodon... When I am back home I will give it another try, but no guarantees given!
In the meantime, let's hope some Merodon-specialists visits your thread! :)
