I have no clue because my first extra EU flight has been in 2022 and I definitely got a full face scan.
The part I'm skeptical about is "available to virtually every agency in the world". I think every immigration checkpoint I've been to have some sort of camera setup, but the extent of data sharing is unclear. Is China sharing data with the US? Or US sharing with Canada? US with Germany? etc.
Except for a handful of countries like China, you can very reasonably assume all of the others' is both available to Israel as well as the US.
