ITEM 2. Identity and Background

See Schedules A and B below, which Schedules have been amended to read in their entirety as set forth below.

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The following paragraph is hereby added to this Item 3:

This Amendment No. 2 to this Statement relates to a further debt restructuring that became effective on September 9, 2008 (the “2008 Debt Restructuring” ) whereby each of Hapoalim and Leumi converted all US $15,000,000 of loans separately made by each Bank to Tower pursuant to separate equipment finance facilities and approximately US $85,000,000 of loans made to Tower pursuant to the Facility Agreement (which was further amended and restated effective September 29, 2008) (the “2008 Restated Facility Agreement” ) into a Capital Note in the principal amount of US $100,000,000, each such Capital Note being convertible into 70,422,535 Ordinary Shares.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction

The following paragraph is hereby added to this Item 4:

The purpose of the acquisition of the Capital Notes was to effectuate the 2008 Debt Restructuring.

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The following paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this Item 5 are hereby amended to read in their entirety as follows:

(a) (1) Leumi is the beneficial owner of 101,989,907 Ordinary Shares, consisting of 96,409,377 Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of its currently convertible Capital Notes and 5,580,530 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of its currently exercisable warrants. Leumi’s ownership represents approximately 39.0% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding based on the most recently available filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” ) by Tower and calculated in accordance with rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i).

(2) Hapoalim is the beneficial owner of 102,460,495 Ordinary Shares, consisting of 96,409,377 Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of its currently convertible Capital Notes and 6,051,118 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of currently exercisable warrants (including warrants to purchase 5,602,820 Ordinary Shares held by Hapoalim and a warrant to purchase 448,298 Ordinary Shares held by Tarshish, its wholly-owned subsidiary). Hapoalim (and Tarshish’s ownership, as aforesaid) represents approximately 39.1% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding based on the most recently available filing with the Commission by Tower and calculated in accordance with rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i).

Page 6 of 18

The following paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this Item 5 are hereby amended to read in their entirety as follows:

(b) (1) Leumi has sole voting and dispositive power over 101,989,907 Ordinary Shares consisting of 96,409,377 Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of currently convertible Capital Notes and 5,580,530 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of currently exercisable warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares.

(2) Hapoalim has sole voting and dispositive power over 102,012,197 Ordinary Shares consisting of 96,409,377 Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of currently convertible Capital Notes and 5,602,820 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of currently exercisable warrants and Hapoalim and Tarshish share voting and dispositive power over 448,298 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of a currently exercisable warrant held by Tarshish.

The following paragraphs are hereby added to the end of this Item 5:

Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 2 to this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any Reporting Person (as defined above) that any such Reporting Person and any other persons or entities constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. Further, the filing of this Amendment No. 2 to this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any Ordinary Shares other than those Ordinary Shares over which the Reporting Person has voting and dispositive power, as reported herein. Other than Hapoalim’s interest in Tarshish, each Reporting Person disclaims any pecuniary interest in any securities of Tower owned by any other Reporting Person, and expressly disclaims the existence of a group.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, although each Bank entered into an Amendment No. 1 to its Tag Along Agreement with Israel Corporation Ltd. ( “TIC” ), Tower’s largest shareholder, each as described in Item 6 below, each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims the existence of a group with TIC. Based on Amendment No. 7, dated September 25, 2008, to TIC’s Statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the Ordinary Shares, TIC may be deemed to have voting and dispositive control over approximately 63.2% of the Ordinary Shares. Leumi owns ordinary shares in TIC representing 17.96% of TIC’s issued share capital (18.16% of the voting rights) and a representative of Leumi is a member of TIC’s board of directors.

ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The seventh paragraph of this Item 6 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

As part of the 2008 Debt Restructuring, the spread over LIBOR applicable to Tower’s quarterly interest payments on its remaining approximately $200 million of loans to the Banks was increased by 1.4 percentage points back to 2.5% from 1.1%, effective September 29, 2008. The 2008 Restated Facility Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions described below, Tower will issue to the Banks on January 30, 2011 such number of shares (or Capital Notes or convertible debentures) that equals the aggregate amount of interest that would have been payable but for the decrease in the spread over LIBOR applicable to Tower’s quarterly interest payments on its loans during the period of May 17, 2006 through September 29, 2008 to the Banks (the “2008 Decreased Amount” ) divided by the average closing price of the Ordinary Shares during the fourth quarter of 2010 (the “Fourth Quarter 2010 Price” ). If, during the second half of 2010, the closing price of Tower’s Ordinary Shares on every trading day during this period exceeds $3.49, then the Banks will only be granted such number of

Page 7 of 18

Ordinary Shares (or Capital Notes or convertible debentures) that equals the 2008 Decreased Amount divided by 200% of the Fourth Quarter 2010 Price. If, during the period ending December 31, 2010, the Banks sell a portion of the Capital Notes issued to the Banks on September 28, 2006 (or shares issuable upon the conversion of such Capital Notes) at a price per share in excess of $3.49, then the consideration payable for the interest rate reduction will be reduced proportionately. The adjusted 2008 Decreased Amount is $12,086,670, subject to downward adjustment as set forth above.

The first two paragraphs under the heading “Restated Facility Agreement” are hereby amended to read in their entirety as follows:

2008 Restated Facility Agreement

The 2008 Restated Facility Agreement imposes a number of restrictions on Tower, including restrictions on debt, investments, mergers, acquisitions, disposals, prohibitions on the payment of dividends and changes in ownership.

A change of ownership will be deemed to occur if (a) the Lead Investors shall, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, cease to nominate, in aggregate, more than 50% of the board of directors of Tower (excluding, for this purpose, external directors ( Dahaz ), 1 (one) independent director under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, officers of Tower (including the chief executive officer) who are ex-officio directors of Tower and any directors appointed by a purchaser of the Banks’ shares); or (b) at any time TIC shall cease to hold (directly or indirectly through subsidiaries) in the aggregate at least 48,164,483 Ordinary Shares and/or capital notes convertible into Ordinary Shares.

The following is hereby added to the end of this Item 6:

2008 Conversion Agreements and 2008 Capital Notes

On September 25, 2008, each of Leumi and Hapoalim entered into a Conversion Agreement (the “2008 Conversion Agreement” ) with Tower pursuant to which each Bank converted $100 million of its loans to Tower into a Capital Note (the “2008 Capital Note” ) in the principal amount of $100,000,000 which, in turn, is fully convertible, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, into an aggregate of 70,422,535 Ordinary Shares, at an initial conversion price of $1.42 per Ordinary Share. The initial conversion price was 200% of the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market for the ten trading days prior to August 7, 2008, the date of Tower’s public announcement with respect to its negotiations with the Banks regarding the debt restructuring.

The terms of each 2008 Conversion Agreement and each 2008 Capital Note are substantially similar to those of the comparable Conversion Agreement and Capital Note entered into and issued, respectively, in 2006 except that only the Conversion Agreements in 2006 apply to the issuance of securities by Tower to the Banks in January 2011 with respect to the 2008 Decreased Amount.

The foregoing summary of the 2008 Capital Notes is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Capital Note attached as Exhibit 1 to each of the 2008 Conversion Agreements. The 2008 Conversion Agreement entered into between Tower and Hapoalim is included as Exhibit 17 to this Schedule 13D and the Conversion Agreement entered into between Tower and Leumi is included as Exhibit 18 to this Schedule 13D. Each of these Agreements in their entirety is incorporated herein by reference and the summary herein with respect to the 2008 Conversion Agreements is qualified in its entirety by such reference.

Page 8 of 18

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreements

The Registration Rights Agreements entered into by Tower with each of the Banks in 2006 were amended and restated principally to provide each Bank with demand registration rights from time to time with respect to all or any portion of such Bank’s Registratable Securities, including Ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the 2008 Capital Notes. The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreements replace and supersede the Registration Rights Agreements entered into on September 28, 2006.

The foregoing summary of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement entered into between Tower and Leumi which is included as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D and the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement entered into between Tower and Hapoalim which is included as Exhibit 4 to this Schedule 13D. Each of these Amended and Restated Agreements in their entirety is incorporated herein by reference.

Amendments to Tag Along Agreements

On September 25, 2008, each Bank and TIC entered into an Amendment No. 1 to each Tag Along Agreement entered into in 2006, so as to include the 2008 Capital Note and the Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion thereof within the tag-along right granted by TIC to each Bank pursuant to each Tag Along Agreement entered into in 2006.

The foregoing summary of Amendment No. 1 to each Tag Along Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 1 to the Tag Along Agreement entered into between TIC and Hapoalim which is included as Exhibit 19 to this Schedule 13D and Amendment No. 1 to the Tag Along Agreement entered into between TIC and Leumi which is included as Exhibit 20 to this Schedule 13D. Each of these Amendments in their entirety is incorporated hereby by reference.
