What is the correct procedure for legal action to get a child back to the United States, if his Israeli mother flew to Israel with him, against his father's wishes?

Take action under the Hague Convention for the return of an abducted child, as both Israel and the United States are signatories to and bound by the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of Child Abduction. Translated into practice, this means getting a plea filed in Hebrew, at a family court in Israel, for a return order regarding the child under the 1991 Israeli Hague Convention Act, which is the Israel legislation based on the convention.
