I do have the en_IL.UTF-8 locale on my GNU/Linux system, but it's not
listed under /usr/share/locale/.  But under /usr/share/i18n/locales
there is a text file en_IL with the following entries (among others):

LC_CTYPE
copy "en_GB"
END LC_CTYPE

LC_COLLATE
copy "en_GB"
END LC_COLLATE

LC_MONETARY
copy "he_IL"
END LC_MONETARY

LC_NUMERIC
copy "he_IL"
END LC_NUMERIC

LC_MESSAGES
copy "en_US"
END LC_MESSAGES

LC_PAPER
copy "he_IL"
END LC_PAPER

LC_NAME
copy "en_US"
END LC_NAME

Since these are copied from other locales, perhaps that's why this
locale isn't listed under /usr/share/locale/.
