Biography[edit]
Zohar worked for the AP's Israel bureau from 2005 to 2020, covering all major news events in the country, most notably on Israeli disengagement from Gaza (2005) and the abduction of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit (2006).[2] He also worked for several years for Israel Hayom daily newspaper. In working for the two news outlets, he was often the first to alert of news events taking place in the Gaza Strip region.[3]
