Thought you mean Dec. 4, on Apr. 12 there is nothing available

Which tool are using? Do you think the status will change?

They say nothing is available.
I've found that HUCA is sometimes required for LY flights w/ AA miles.

+1, some reps are just too lazy or don't want to take the extra few clicks

It's a simple confusion. LY biz is X class which is the Economy award class for all One World airlines. a lot of reps get confused with that.
I've yet to see a flight available in both, which an agent should say it's not available.

I don't know if this is the place to ask, but does anyone know the risks of booking for someone else a ticket on LY through AADVANTAGE I mean AA can't show up in TLV and start
asking the passenger questions.

Planning a trip for 8 people for next summer.
4 of those 8 have to go together.  AA shows availability on El AL flights, but the rep says the awards are released two at a time. 
ExpertFlyer shows 5 seats available on the dates I am looking at.
Does that mean more seats will be released once 2 awards are booked?

I believe expert flyer is right but why not make a reservation with AA you can hold it 5 days or more

Same as any other airline. If AA determines a sale occured, they'll begin the process of closing the account and canceling the tickets.
They'll contact the account holder via email.

When booking LY with AA, AA wants to charge me 10$ tax and $35 booking fee per ticket, will HUCA get the booking fee wavid?
Just worked for me (huca)  :) just told them that when I booked it wasn't available online only by phone and it 'was' waived  ;D

When using AA miles to book LY economy, can you pay to upgrade to E+? How much is it?
