[Regarding saying Hallel on the day of a miracle, such as Yom Hatzmaut, Yom Yerushalayim, or any other day in which a miracle has taken place, this matter is debated amongst the Poskim[1], and the position of Chareidi Jewry follows the opinion which prohibits saying Hallel even for such occasions, even without a blessing. Others, especially those affiliated with the religious Zionist movement, recite it with or without a blessing.]
[1] Poskim who prohibit Hallel on days of miracle unless miracle was done for the entire Jewish people: Rabbeinu Yona Brachos 2 in name of Rabbeinu Tam and on Braisa Taanis 28b; See Tosafus Sukkah 44b; Chaim Sheol 2:11
Poskim who permit Hallel without a blessing on days of miracle even if miracle was done to individual or community: Meiri Pesachim 117a; See Kol Mevaser 21; Encyclopedia Talmudit Vol. 9 Erech Hallel p. 395
