Especially since they were already getting worse from the previous months as shown in the report.
They don't go through their method to determine 17x more likely to be hospitalized, but it is cumulative and given the vaccinated rates of those populations, it appears that they are using any form (1 dose, 2 dose less than 14 days and full course > 14 days) as being vaccinated. By that convention, in Jun patients unvaccinated patients were 15x more likely to be hospitalized, while a fully vaccinated patient is 23x less likely to be hospitalized. That's just Jun.
The alarmist articles about Israel rely on the the readers not understanding this basic part of probability that is shown in Jun in the study that you referenced. That is extreme in the Israel case. The article does the probability for you:

Probably the best advertisement for vaccination boosters.
