Ok, let's see:
/usr/share/i18n/locales/iw_IL says:

% Hebrew Language Locale for Israel

That's how Unix knows Israeli locale - as iw_IL.
http://www.w3.org/International/O-charset-lang.html also states:
Hebrew (iw)     iso-8859-8 

So I think Unix and W3C are united in calling Hebrew "iw".
Where did you see other versions?
