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.

Britain joins multinational force to secure Hormuz
UK defense secretary announces deployment of Typhoon jets, mine-clearing drones, and the destroyer HMS Dragon; Lithuania said Monday it will contribute 40 sailors to the mission.
Britain announced Tuesday it will contribute autonomous mine-hunting equipment, Typhoon fighter jets, and the warship HMS Dragon to a multinational defensive mission aimed at securing navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
UK Defense Secretary John Healey told reporters, "Together with our allies, this multinational mission will be defensive, independent, and credible. The mission will be funded by £115 million (approximately $146 million) from a special budget allocated to it."

HMS Dragon is the fourth vessel in the Type 45. It was launched in November 2008 and entered service on April 20, 2012. It is equipped with cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, and a suite of air-defense systems capable of engaging both aircraft and ballistic missiles.
Lithuania announced Monday that it will send a contingent of 40 sailors and crew members to take part in the international mission to defend the Strait of Hormuz. It remains unclear at this stage which other countries will join the force, who will lead it, and what its mandate will be for responding to Iranian provocations in the strait. It is also unclear whether the force is intended to begin operations before or after a deal is reached between Washington and Tehran.
