ZION OIL & GAS CLOSES THIRD IPO ROUND

$900,000 Raised in Second Closing Brings IPO Total to $5.9 Million

Dallas, TX - February 22, 2007 - Eugene A. Soltero, Chief Executive Officer of Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (Amex: ZN), of Dallas, Texas and Caesarea, Israel, announced today that the company has issued 118,557 shares of common stock in the third round of its initial public offering. Zion's offering is being underwritten on a best efforts basis by Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc. of Red Bank, New Jersey. The shares were issued at $7 per share, and the amount raised in this third round was $829,899. In the first, second and third round closings of the offering, Zion has issued 842,337 shares in consideration of a total of $5,896,359.

Zion continues to accept subscriptions in its offering at $7 per share up to a maximum of $14,000,000. The next closing is scheduled for February 28, 2007, subject to advancement or deferral. The offering will then remain open through March 26, 2007, subject to advancement or deferral as described in the prospectus.

Zion Oil & Gas, a Delaware corporation, explores for oil and gas in Israel on its Ma'anit-Joseph License and Asher Permit areas located onshore between Tel Aviv and Haifa. The net proceeds of Zion's offering will mainly be used for a completion attempt on the Ma'anit #1 exploratory well drilled by Zion in 2005 to a total depth of 15,842 feet and, if the maximum offering is successfully completed, to drill an appraisal well on its license. Zion and its drilling contractor have entered into an agreement for the use of a rig to renew work on the Ma'anit #1 in March 2007. In the event of a commercial discovery, following recovery of certain exploratory costs, Zion intends to donate 6% of its gross revenues from the license to two charitable trusts to be established by Zion, one in Israel and one in the U.S. The common stock of Zion is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "ZN".

The Securities are being offered by Zion in its Initial Public Offering by prospectus only, and only within those States and other jurisdictions in which the securities may be sold. This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of any offer to buy.
