Most of E”Y does not celebrate Shushan Purim. It’s almost only Yerushalayim, although there may be another area outside that also holds Purim is on the 15th of Adar. As far as Efrat goes, I don’t think that area has Purim on the 15th. Even when I lived in Ramat Shlomo, because there was machlokes of whether we had a continuous connection to the buildings of Yerushalayim (not just seeing them), there were people who kept 2 days of Purim just because of the sofek. The same is true of Ramot. Efrat is a lot farther away, so I doubt it has Purim on the 15th unless there was some mesora about there being a wall around the city back in the times of Yehoshua.
