Example coordinates

A WGS 84 point at longitude 34.93°, latitude 31.365° (inside the area of use) has these coordinates in EPSG:6984:

Computed with PROJ using the EPSG default operation: axis order change (2D) + Ballpark geographic offset from WGS 84 to IG05 Intermediate CRS + Israeli TM.
AxisValueUnit
E193,412.216m
N585,981.701m

At this point the projection scale factor is 1.00001511 and the grid convergence is -0.142884°.

A PROJ string cannot carry every EPSG detail (axis order, datum ensemble, transformations). Prefer WKT2 or the EPSG code itself.

No datum shift is needed: this CRS is on WGS 84 or a datum Proj4js treats as equivalent at the metre level.
