This is a different situation to the one posted here recently which the poster didn't attempt to check in at all.
That would make it more explicit that LH had sold the OP they couldn't use...
Its more of a question than any certainty in the matter."denied boarding" means a refusal to carry passengers on a flight, although they have presented themselves for boarding under the conditions laid down in Article 3(2), except where there are reasonable grounds to deny them boarding, such as reasons of health, safety or security, or inadequate travel documentation
I think the answer is nobody really knows as we are in unpresented times. For anyone to claim that they "know the answer" is for the birds.

It's also not really relevant that these are "unprecedented times". It's no different to someone being denied entry because they don't have a valid passport or visa and I'm pretty sure the airlines are allowed to deny boarding for those reasons and you won't be due a refund.0 -

and also would have incurred the cost of transport to and fro the airport for a pointless trip.0 -

What does your contract with Lufthansa state? This will be the starting point if all 4 flights leave.
Of course if you don't take the first flight due to your (current) non-admissibility to Israel, your ticket will have been cancelled as per the terms and conditions you agreed to. Silvercar has given further advice on how to ensure you are admissible.
This is a matter for your insurance for any amount you are not contractually obliged to receive back. You will get taxes and fees from Lufthansa, possibly minus a penalty, and the rest will be an insurable event if you have insurance cover.
The flight will likely still run for the benefit of Israeli citizens and residents who Lufthansa are contractually bound to transport.💙💛 💔0
