Kipa is reporting that Rav Dov Lior, former Chief Rabbi of Kiryat Arba, has just issued a psak to say Hallel with a bracha even by the night of Yom Haatzmaut, not just by day.
Rav Lior says that until now he said to say Hallel without a bracha at night even though he felt it was right to say the bracha but he was concerned of the opinions opposed to that of Rav Goren. Now, Rav Lior says, he has changed his mind and says we should act according to the psak of Rav Goren on this. The reason to say Hallel at night with a bracha is to acknowledge and appreciate the great miracle, but also to commemorate the end of the British Manadate that happened at midnight on this date, which began the reign of the kingdom of Israel.
