Ah ok.
I think refund from BA for your (separate) booking with El Al will be a non-starter.
I would:
- See if El Al offer a 24 hour cooling off (if you can cancel without penalty)
- See if BA can even offer you a seat on the El Al flight that you want -- only certain seat fare buckets are available.
- If both of the above are fine, you could go down that route.
Otherwise you may have to settle for accepting a refund from BA and chalking the difference in price up to experience.
Someone more knowledgeable than me might know more for your specific situation though.
Just make sure you only accept refund for the legs that have been cancelled if you go down this route, make sure they don't cancel your whole booking!
