The Dutch have 11 points from five games, Bulgaria and Romania are level on eight points.
Belarus has seven after a 2-1 victory at Luxembourg.
David Healy scored his second Group F hat trick in Northern Ireland's 4-1 victory at Liechtenstein, having also scored three times in a 3-2 victory over Spain on Sept. 6.
The win gives Lawrie Sanchez and his team 10 points from five games, only two fewer than group leader Sweden, which doesn't have a game until it goes to Belfast on Wednesday.
England misfires
England is in the midst of its worst scoring run for more than a quarter of a century, and it could keep them from qualifying for the European Championship.
England failed to win or score for the third straight game, and the pressure is building on coach Steve McClaren.
"Disappointed, frustrated," said McClaren, whose team has scored only once in five games, the worst run since 1981.
"To dominate the game like that, to have the chances that we did and not to score, it's disappointing and not good enough. We should have won that game."
The 4,000 traveling England fans taunted McClaren by chanting: "You don't know what you're doing."
"We got balls in the box. We got shots on target. Either it didn't fall for us or poor quality, poor finishing, poor decisions has cost us," McClaren said.
"It's two points we dropped there. We should have won that," he said.
But Israel did well to stifle the talented England forwards.
"Certainly this was the tactical preparation we know the England players are very fast and strong," Israel coach Dror Kashtan said. "We had to be well prepared for that and adjust accordingly."
"There's no doubt the English have some outstanding players who are clearly at a high level," he said. "It was part of our tactics to make sure their main players don't reach any goalscoring opportunities and have any influence on the outcome of the game."
Midway through the first half, Israel goalkeeper Dudu Awat made a one-handed catch from a Wayne Rooney header and then dived at the feet of Frank Lampard to smother the ball.
