Yedioth Ahronoth (1939 - present) is a daily newspaper founded in Mandatory Palestine and published in Tel Aviv. Started by Gershom Komarov, Yedioth Ahronoth was the first evening newspaper in the British Mandate of Palestine and attempted to emulate the format of the London Evening Standard. Karomov soon sold the paper to Yehuda Mozes due to financial difficulties, whose sons, Reuben and Noah ran the paper. A large group of journalists and other staff members, led by chief editor Ezriel Carlebach, left Yedioth Ahronoth to form Yedioth Maariv in 1948, which led to a long-standing feud between the newspapers. The feud peaked in the 1990s when it was discovered that both newspapers had bugged their rival's phone lines.
