Israeli Army Radio

Israeli Army Radio or Galei Tzahal, known in Israel by its acronym Galatz (גל"צ), is a nationwide state funded Israeli radio network operated by the Israel Defense Forces. The station broadcasts news, music, traffic reports and educational programs to the general public as well as entertainment and military news magazines for soldiers. The network has one main station and an offshoot, Galgalatz (גלגל"צ), that broadcasts music and traffic reports 24 hours a day in Hebrew. The staff includes both soldiers and civilians. Until December 2013, it broadcast via shortwave to Europe. There is still a livestream feed on the internet. Following the outbreak of the Gaza war in 2023, it started using the former frequencies of 1287 kHz and 945 kHz to reach bomb shelters and other areas in Israel. The station was set to close in March 2026, although still remains on air as of 27 March 2026.
