Hitchhiking is very common in '''Israel'''. Hitchhiking is done by '''pointing to the ground with the hand far from the body''', instead of raising a thumb.<!-- maybe someone has a nice picture of this? -->

The most usual way to start an hitchiking hitchhiking journey is to take a bus out of town, to a junction in your direction. Almost every junction has a hitchhiking spot (the famous ''Trempiyada''), or atleast at least a bus station where drivers can stop. It is very hard to hitchhike from the cities themselves, and inter-urban buses are relatively cheap and can get you to the nearest junction.
