Israel Hayom is a media organization founded on the belief that the Israeli public deserves better journalism—more balanced, more accurate, and more reliable. Journalism that speaks rather than shouts. Journalism that is trustworthy, objective, and matter-of-fact. A different kind of journalism, offered free of charge. The first print edition was published on July 30, 2007, and in 2010 Israel Hayom became the Israeli newspaper with the highest weekday readership. The newspaper’s publisher is Dr. Miriam Adelson. Its Editor-in-Chief is Omar Lachmanovitch, and its founding editor is Amos Regev. Israel Hayom’s Hebrew and English websites, as well as its Android and iOS applications, provide around-the-clock news coverage, exclusive content, breaking news and updates, analysis and commentary, video, podcasts, and live broadcasts. The digital platforms of Israel Hayom include news and opinion channels covering culture and entertainment, lifestyle, technology, sports, business and consumer affairs, health, military affairs, food, Judaism, tourism, and automobiles. In 2021, a new Hebrew-language website and mobile application were launched to provide users with a fast, up-to-date, secure, and convenient experience. The content of the newspaper’s print edition is also available online through a daily digital edition and can be received via newsletter. “The Israel Hayom Clique,” the publication’s exclusive benefits club, offers website users discounts and special promotions on products and services. Israel Hayom welcomes feedback, criticism, and suggestions for improvement from its readers. You can contact the organization by email at hayom@israelhayom.co.il

Antisemitism continues to escalate across Europe. Disturbing footage circulating across social media platforms shows an unidentified individual removing a mezuzah from a private residence in a Jewish neighborhood in London.

We have received multiple reports of incidents that appear to be deliberate acts of #antisemitism, involving the removal of mezuzah's in #GoldersGreen.

We are liaising with police. If you've been a victim, contact #Shomrim NW London on 03009991234 quoting ref NW683-20/05/25 pic.twitter.com/FKAZHQh9cu

 The security camera video shows the person approaching the home, drawing a knife, and prying the mezuzah from the entrance doorpost. According to the Shomrim organization, this antisemitic act is not an isolated incident in the area in recent weeks.

Social media users reacted with anger, with comments including, "Will London catch him? Or are we watching a city that has already surrendered?" and "This isn't political protest, this is a threat to Jewish lives."
