Eilat News

In 1962, Yitzhak and Puaa Noam founded the first Israeli newspaper, 'Evening in Eilat'. Eilat, which was then the settlement of a small book, was more like a village in the desert than it is today. During this period there were only a few thousand inhabitants (today, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics, there are 47,600 residents, which are about 17,000 households). These were the conditions of distance and detachment that led to the need for a local newspaper, a concept that until then had not been recognized in Israel. The distant Eilat, almost did not write, and the various events that took place did not find their place in the national press. Out of the need to concentrate local life on one stage, the young newspaper was founded, and since then it has been published every Thursday
