yankel berel: I heard it from numerous Rabbonim. It was also printed on YWN in their article about Ponovezh in 2020: https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/1854765/in-long-standing-minhag-israeli-flag-flies-from-ponevezeh-in-bnei-brak-on-yom-haatzmaut.html
R’ Ahron Soloveichik (who was a magid shiur in MTJ, then was appointed by R’ Hutner to give the highest shiur in Chaim Berlin, then at RIETS, before moving to Chicago where he was Rosh Yeshiva in Skokie before opening the Chicago branch of Brisk) also observed Tom Ha’atzmaut, and had his yeshivos say Hallel.

Speaker: Rabbi Ahron Soloveichik
Date: April 14 1986So, I am not the only one hiding out. See this reference:
R’ Y.D. Soloveitchik was only opposed to reciting hallel with a b’racha. I heard from a talmid of his that R’ Soloveitchik would face the wall and b’davka cover himself with a tallis so completely that nobody could figure out what he was doingold news: (Teshuvot Yabia Omer 6:O.C. 41

Chacham Maran Ovadia Yosef Shlita announced that one is permitted to recite Hallel on Independence Day without a bracha. The Rav adds it is preferable to push off the recitation of Hallel until completing the davening, since one should not insert tefillos into the prescribed text.The Rav explains that gedolim have voiced various opinions regarding the recitation of Hallel, since Chazal did not insert it into the tefilla for this day we are not accustomed to do so but one cannot discard the miracles resulting in the establishment of the country and the ability of Jews to return to their Homeland.
I heard the following from old time ponevezh talmidim:
Ponevezher rav attempted to omit tahanun in the early days of the State . And was overruled by the rest of the hanhala who davka said tahanun. Whereafter the continuous practise in ponevezh is to say tahanun.
—R ahron soloveitchik was not in ponovezh , and was a totally different type of person than the typical ponovezhers.
..
.
I read the article in YVN about tahanun in ponovezh on yom ha’atsma’ut.
This is incorrect . I heard it my self from an ed re’eya.
Even when the P Rov was alive and prayed in the yeshiva , they did say tahanun.
.
Clear.

.yankel > person than the typical ponovezhers.
I believe ponovezh early on would take different types of students regardless of hashkofa. Things changed prob during 1960s
