It's complicated.

Israel's marriages are arranged by the various religious groups in Israel, the Jewish Rabbinate, the Sunni Imams, the Druze Elders, the Orthodox Patriarchate, etc. In order for intermarriage to be legal in Israel, two of these groups would have to agree to officiate an intermarriage together. For the time being, none of these religious leaders have allowed this, so there is no intermarriage performed within Israel.

However, Israel also recognizes any marriages formed abroad. So, many Israeli couples of mixed faith will take a trip to Cyprus to get married. Upon return to Israel, the marriage is recognized as a civil marriage with all of the benefits of any religious marriages performed domestically within Israel.
