I used to be with "it", but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't "it", and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me.
It'll happen to you!

looks pretty close to it - it looks more like a combo - a lavi engine layout, with a typhoon front, and a rafale-like tail.

It looks like they made some design concessions from the Lavi to fit an indigenous radar and engine. The empennage is deeper/thicker and the nose thicker and much more rounded. The vertical stab is also significantly larger. Other than that, especially with the wing/foreplane layout, it sure looks like a near clone.
Here is a photo of the Lavi B-2 prototype for comparison:

Nah, I would guess it's an entirely different aircraft, especially given how the forward fuselage is shaped very differently. And the air intake is more square... The wings and tail are not shaped the same...
It's like the Concorde vs Tu-144, or the Space Shuttle orbiter vs the Buran; They may look similar, and one was clearly "inspired" on the other, but most of that is external shape-wise, i.e. I bet that internally any similarity is coincidental (unlike, say, the B-29 and the Tu-4, or the DC-3 and the Li-2, or the CJ-6 and the Yak-18, which actually ARE clones, pretty much).
In any case... Great shots! Some of the best pictures I have ever seen of this airplane. Reminds me that there are a lot of interesting machines all over the world which I have yet to point my 100-400 at
