Israel sent two athletes to compete in individual competitions and a team to compete in wheelchair basketball.[2][3] The names of the wheelchair basketball team members are not known as they are not recorded in the original hardcopy final results publication.[2]
Both of Israel's individual competitors participated in swimming events. Official results name them as Globus, who competed in the men's 50 m backstroke complete class 4, and Engel, who competed in the women's 25 m breaststroke complete class 1.[3] Globus won the bronze medal, finishing five seconds behind the other two swimmers in his event.[5] Engel was one of just two competitors in her race and won the silver medal behind Arriens-Kappens of The Netherlands; no bronze medal was awarded.[6]
In addition to competing in swimming Engel also took part in the women's Singles A table tennis event.[3] She won a silver medal with Great Britain's Anderson winning gold and Tora Lysoe, from Norway, the bronze.[7]
The Israeli team won the bronze medal in the men's class A wheelchair basketball. Great Britain won silver and gold went to the United States team.[8]
