Army Radio (Hebrew: גלי צה"ל lit. IDF waves) or Galei Tzahal, known in Israel by its acronym Galatz (Hebrew: גל"צ), is a nationwide 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.[1] The network has one main station and an offshoot - Galgalatz (Hebrew: גלגל"צ) - that broadcasts (mainly English-language and Hebrew) music and traffic reports 24 hours a day in Hebrew. The staff includes both soldiers and civilians. As of December 2013, the station is no longer broadcast via shortwave to Europe. There is still a livestream feed on the internet. After the 2023 Israel-Hamas war, they began using the former frequency of 1287KHZ and 945KHZ as it can reach to the bomb shelters and other areas in Israel.[2]
