Hi,
When searched terms in hebrew i.e in google trends
(ספורט,הכרויות,הורדות-sport,dating/matchmaking,downloads)

i got the following results for top cities:

1. Bene Beraq, Israel
2. Rishon Leziyyon, Israel
3. Rosh Haayin, Israel
4. Petah Tiqwa, Israel
5. Herzliyya, Israel
6. Haifa, Israel
7. Ramat Gan, Israel
8. Tel Aviv, Israel
9. Jerusalem, Israel

Theres no way that bene beraq (138k population) is at number 1 and tel aviv is number 8 (371k population) in reality (other bigger cities i.e number 6 also is surely more in reality then number 1
(is it possible it goes by something like google servers locations in israel?)
or g trends is not accurate?

It seems to be not absolute numbers, but relative ones.

Say 50% of users from Smalltown search for "dating",
and 10% of users in NewYork search for "dating",
then Smalltown would be listed higher than NewYork,
even though the actual number of Smalltown users searching for dating was 500,
while NewYork's 10% was much much more than that.
