After some googling:
It seems that the babel "hebrew" option, more precisely the rlbabel.def 
file loaded by that option, is incompatible with makeindex. You have to 
get rid of the \@@number stuff that is written into the idx file.
Some other babel options are also incompatible with makeindex, and some 
of them provide scripts to fix the idx file. I haven't seen one for 
hebrew, but it wouldn't be difficult to write such a script.
