Information About

Israel News Agency




The Israel News Agency ('''IINA''') is an online News Agency which distributes local news from Israel to a wider audience. The IINA was the first online news organization to disseminate hard news and feature material from Israel, and is fully accredited by the Israel Government Press Office, with which it clears all news items relating to Israeli security. The agency has been a news source for Google News since 2002.

The Israel News Agency was responsible for reporting and creating Web sites regarding the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the IDF Shear Yishuv disaster, as well as terrorist attacks against Israel's civilian population. In doing so, the IINA was able to provide information to the world public that was previously only available in Israel. Links to IINA stories have been used by the Israel Ministry For Foreign Affairs , CNN , Associated Press , Reuters , '' Washington Post '', '' Jerusalem Post '', '' Yediot '', '' Maariv '' and thousands of other on-line, broadcast and print news media outlets.

The agency was created by Joel Leyden in 1995 to provide accurate and timely online news from Israel in times of crisis.
