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.

IDF forces struck a multi-story building in Gaza City on Friday that was being used by the Hamas terror organization. According to the IDF spokesperson's statement, Hamas infrastructure in the building was used for planning and executing operations against Israeli forces in the area. The IDF statement included an infographic depicting the strike.
An underground infrastructure was discovered beneath the building from which Hamas terrorists operated, and which was used for conducting ambushes and escape routes. The infrastructure formed part of the organization's tunnel system in the Gaza City area.

Before the strike, Defense Minister Israel Katz stated: "Now the lock has been removed from the gates of hell in Gaza. The first evacuation notice is being delivered to a multi-story terror building in Gaza City before a strike. When the door opens, it will not close and IDF activity will continue to intensify – until Hamas murderers and rapists accept Israel's conditions for ending the war, primarily the release of all hostages and disarmament – or they will be destroyed."
IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Eli Defrin updated last night in a statement that the IDF has already begun Operation Gideon's Chariots II in recent weeks, and noted that the military holds 40% of Gaza City.
