That's not far off. Crem estimates ~97 with Ashkenazi ~110 and non-Ashkenazi Jews ~100. Arabs drag the average down a lot.
Among newborns it's going to be a bit higher. The Haredi Ashkenazi having lots of kids and driving up the average. Among Arabs you have the opposite trend, Bedouin have lots of kids and drive down the average.

I also suspect that even controlling for the Haredi thing, fertility among Israeli Jews is eugenic for IQ. In places like North Tel Aviv, having lots of kids is high status and a sign you are rich.
While non-Ashkenazi non-Ethiopian Jews in all of Israel average ~100, the ones in a town in the periphery in the Golan Heights likely average ~95. Hence, your lived experience. A friend from Haifa told me he thinks non-Ashkenazi IQ is >100, and I'm sure it is in his environment. Analogously to the white US/UK population, smarter ones live in TLV/Haifa just like with New York and London, and less smart ones live in some homogenous poor town in the periphery just like with the North of England or West Virginia.
They were 100s of times worse in Jerusalem. One of the reasons I like living in the Golan is that I don't experience daily feelings of racial hatred for people leaving their nappies in the corridor, walking around with unmuzzled pitbulls, and playing trance music at night.
Well in some ways Jerusalem is basically a development town in the periphery. If you go to TLV and its suburbs or to Haifa you will find a lot of smart Mizrahim. I'm sure Jerusalem has a bunch too, just they are not as loud or noticeable.
