In 1948, a large group of journalists and staff members led by Azriel Carlebach, who was Editor at the time, left to form another newspaper - Maariv. Carlebach was replaced with Herzl Rosenblum. This began a still on-going battle for circulation and prestige between the rival newspapers, which peaked during the 1990 when both papers were discovered to have bugged one another's phones.

Today, the paper is headed by Noah Mozes' son, Arnon Mozes. For many years it was edited by Herzl Rosenblum's son, Moshe Vardi, who was replaced in 2005 by Rafi Ginat.
