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
While everyone at the top was blinded, some of those in the field saw what was coming. Dvir Lisha was only three months into his service at the base in Zikim. In his family’s chat group, he wrote sarcastically: “Anyone looking for an attraction on the intermediate days of Sukkot is invited to the Hamas fence for a stunning display of uncommon military capability."
After Operation Guardian of the Walls, two successive Shin Bet chiefs were of the view that Yahya Sinwar should be eliminated. Netanyahu, as well as the prime ministers who succeeded him between 2021-2022, preferred the calm after Operation Guardian of the Walls, and believed that Hamas was weak, deterred, and afraid of a confrontation.
Former Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen speaks about the Oct. 7 attack and how Israel could change the situation on the ground. On securing the release of captives he says, "We don't negotiate directly with Hamas...but there are communications as we speak."
