Since the beginning of the "Swords of Iron" war, the Government Press Office has received a record number of 2050 journalists, double the number of journalists who arrived in Israel during the whole "Protective Edge" operation.
The leading countries in sending reporters to cover the war are the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany.
However, even countries that rarely report from Israel, such as Romania, Argentina, Nepal and Singapore, have sent journalists to Israel since the war began.
Another interesting point is that Ukraine, which is itself at war, sent two journalists to cover the war in Israel.
