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 combat officer (whose name is withheld) previously served as a fighter and commander in one of the special forces units of the IDF and also in the Givati Brigade.

One of the most discredited ideas, at least in Israel, is the notion that a ceasefire between a free, democratic country that puts a premium on individual freedoms and a death cult whose raison d’etre is to murder Jews everywhere can ever succeed.
The footage shows Hamas terrorists forcefully leading captured individuals – a Nepalese citizen and a Thai citizen – who were abducted from Israeli territory. Military vehicles brought from Israel during the massacre can also be seen inside the Shifa Hospital premises, showing Hamas was using it as a hub for its operation.
"I believe we are closer than we have been in quite some time, maybe closer than we have been since the beginning of this process, to getting this deal done," White House deputy national security adviser Jon Finer told NBC's "Meet the Press". The delicate hostage talks coincide with Israel preparing to expand its offensive against Hamas to Gaza's southern half, signaled by increasing air strikes there on targets Israel sees as lairs of armed terrorists.
Two-thirds of the personnel in the Home Front Command's Rescue and Training Brigade are women. "Currently within the strip, on behalf of the Home Front Command, 40% are women, sharing the mission responsibilities with the men beside them," explained the commander of the brigade. The fighters joined the combat teams and operated together in the area of the Shati refugee camp – one of Hamas' central strongholds in the Gaza Strip.
