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
The documentary bearing the shocking title "Bibas: Murdered for Being Jewish" represents the product of over a year of research and testimony collection, aimed at serving as a tool for documenting the truth and commemorating the memory of the Bibas family members.
Ariel’s life was cut short by brutal Hamas terrorists. The Instagram page commemorating the Bibas family invited the public to light a candle, or release an orange balloon in his honor.
Nearly two years after the October 7 massacre, Leon and Ina, the parents of 24-year-old Sapir Bilmes, opened up in a wrenching interview about the final moments of their daughter’s life. “She appeared on every list, here, there. And I told myself: until she calls me, I don’t know where she is,” Ina recalls. Looking back, they are still trying to reconstruct every detail from conversations with police investigators. “I wanted to know if the end was quick.”
The Knesset Subcommittee on Foreign Policy and Public Diplomacy held a session to address the publication of the report on sexual crimes committed by Hamas. Ilana Gritzewsky, a former hostage and the partner of kidnapped soldier Matan Zangauker, gave harrowing testimony about her time in captivity.
Each of the drones represented a life lost in the attack as part of the Nova exhibit that has traveled to major cities worldwide including New York, Los Angeles, and Tel Aviv.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to comments made by Donald Trump in a video, stating: "We know for certain there are 21 hostages alive. There are three more whose condition is, unfortunately, uncertain." A total of 59 hostages remain in Hamas captivity, 35 of whom have been officially classified by Israel as dead in captivity.
Residents of the Gaza border kibbutz have created a symbolic display in which the Star of David at the center of the Israeli flag has been replaced with the number 59 — the number of hostages still held in captivity. "We have no other choice," they said. The flag bears the pain of the community and delivers a clear message: as long as the hostages have not been returned, Independence Day cannot be celebrated.
On the Instagram page commemorating Shiri, family and friends shared an emotional tribute for what would have been her 34th birthday.
In an emotional full-circle moment, former Hamas captive Eliya Cohen returned Sunday for the first time to the bunker from which he was kidnapped and donned tefillin.
Ilana Gritzewsky, who was released after being held captive in Gaza, suffered physical and sexual abuse at the hands of her captors. She lost consciousness during her abduction, and awoke surrounded by armed terrorists. She is struggling to recover while her partner, Matan Zangauker, remains in captivity.
