Israeli officials said there have been no major disruptions:

“So far it is as was expected, there is hardly any real damage,” Ben Yisrael told the media. “Anonymous doesn’t have the skills to damage the country’s vital infrastructure. And if that was its intention, then it wouldn’t have announced the attack ahead of time. It wants to create noise in the media about issues that are close to its heart.”

It is an assertion that the Anonymous hackers dispute.

The government of Israel is downplaying #OpIsrael much the same way they downplay Palestinian rights.

At the moment, the Knesset website and Prime Minister’s Office website both appear to be down.
