I am guessing the installation chose a British keyboard for you. This is
a bit surprising because Red Hat, unlike some other distros (we'll
protect the guilty) usually ask a separate queston about keyboard
layout.

I use a somewhat older Fedora, so YMMV, but in KDE open System Settings
-> Input Devices -> Keyboard Settings -> Layouts and select what suits
you (I assume American + Israeli?).
