On 4 March 1984 Haaretz Group CEO Amos Schocken announced that a new daily newspaper, Hadashot was to be launched, with Yossi Klein [he] as editor.
The paper was soon hit by a scandal as it published details of the Kav 300 affair, in which Shin Bet members executed two Palestinian bus hijackers in 1984, in violation of the Israeli Military Censor.
Hadashot initially had a young, left-wing, anti-establishment image, and was written in youthful Hebrew, bordering on slang.
Circulation remained low and at a press conference on 29 November 1993, Schocken announced the closure of the paper.
[3] Senior journalists at the newspaper included Amnon Dankner, Dudu Geva, Dahn Ben-Amotz and Irit Linur.
