 The the Conservative movement added this Al HaNissim prayer for Yom HaAtzmaut, Israeli Independence Day, in their  siddur.
Others have also authored Al HaNissim texts for Israeli Independence Day, including one written by the Kibbutz HaDati movement, the umbrella organization for religious kibbutzim in Israel. They are written to be said in the Amidah prayer during Yom HaAtzmaut and modeled after the Al HaNissim texts for Chanukkah and Purim.
על הנסים ועל הפךקן ועל נגבורות ועל התשועות ועל
המלחמות שעשית לאבותינו בימים ההם ובזמן הזה
בימי שיבת בנים לגבולם בעת תנים לנבולם בעת תקומת עם בארצו בימי קדם
נסגרו שערי ארץ אבות בפני אחינו פליטי חרב ואויבים בארץ
ושבעה עממים בעלי בריתם קמו להכרית עמך ישראל ואתה
ברחמיך הרבים עמדת להם בעת צרתם רבת את-ריבם דנת
את-דינם חזקת את-לבם לעמוד בשער ולפתח שערים לנרדפים
ולגרש את-צבאות האויב מן הארץ מסרת רבים ביד מעטים
ורשעים ביג צגיקים ולך עשית שם גדול וקרוש בעולמך
ולעמך ישראל עשית תשועה גדולה ופרקן בהיום הזה
We thank You for the heroism, for the triumphs, and for the miraculous deliverance of our ancestors, in other days and in our time.
In the days when Your children were returning to their borders, at the time of a people revived in its land as in days of old, the gates to the land of our ancestors were closed before those who were fleeing the sword. When enemies from within the land together with seven neighboring nations sought to annihilate Your people, You, in Your great mercy, stood by them in time of trouble. You defended them and vindicated them. You gave them the courage to meet their foes, to open the gates to those seeking refuge, and to free the land of its armed invaders. You delivered the many into the hands of the few, the guilty into the hands of the innocent. You have wrought great victories and miraculous deliverance for Your people Israel to this day, revealing Your glory and Your holiness to all the world.
