Try to highlight words in my test file. If it works, there's something wrong with your file or, if you used Calibre to generate your azw3 file, maybe it's a Calibre bug. (I used Kindle Previewer/KindleGen to create my test file.)

Did the words that you tried to highlight end in one of the 5 Hebrew letters that have a special final form, e.g. ץ?
If so, maybe the word contained an invisible Unicode character before the last letter.
It works now. In fact the problem was in the html source file. I thought I could simply add dir="rtl" to the body. But I also had to wrap the text in a paragraph with text-align: right;
Thank you so much for your help. Have been trying to solve this for a long time now.
