Many people wear tefillin on chol hamoed in Eretz Yisroel, including 
some gedolim. However, some do it betzinoh so it is not so well known.

One such godol is the Erlau'er Rebbe. You can go in his beis medrash 
and see him with tefillin. He keeps the minhogim of his zeide, the 
Chasam Sofer, to wear tefillin on chol hamoed and daven nusach Ashkenaz.

There are even some minyonim where people wear tefillin on Chol 
Hamoed, like a Yekkishe minyan in Bnei Brak that I know of.

----------

Here are a few names, a sampling of some past gedolim who wore 
tefillin on chol hamoed IN ERETZ YISROEL (either betzinoh or otherwise) -

Moreinu HaRav Schach, Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, Rav Michel Feinstein 
(eidem of the Brisker Rav), Pressburger Rav, and Rav Duschinsky, " .

The " was in Eretz Yisroel. In his siddur Shaarei Shomayim, he has 
tefillin on chol hamoed.

Rav Moshe Feinstein  writes in a teshuvoh that he knows of thousands 
of bnei Torah who put on tefillin on chol hamoed in Eretz Yisroel.

I think there is an Oberlander minyan in Yerusholayim where they wear 
tefillin on Chol Hamoed as well, if I recall correctly.

----------

A friend of mine (Reb A.) sent me the following information a short 
while ago, about minyonim where they wear tefillin on chol hamoed in 
Eretz Yisroel bifarhesia.

"There is one in Katamon by the Erlauer Rav (that one has a 
chassidish taste to it). I travel there on the 1st day Chol HaMoed. 
There is another one near Belz in the Minchas Yitzchak neighborhood, 
called Kehillas Vien. It is an Oberlander minyan, according to Minhag 
Pressburg. I go there for the other days of Chol HaMoed."

See the rest of the comments there regarding wearing tefillin in EY 
on Chol Moed. YL
