DEBKAfile (Hebrew: תיקדבקה) is a Jerusalem based website with news and indepth information about terrorism, intelligence, military affairs, security and politics. It began in the summer of 2000, and has been quite successful and has received several awards, including Forbes Best of The Web award.

Often DEBKAfile offers information no other news outlet reports on. Often it reports information several months before other major news organizations like CNN.

[edit] Reviews in mass media

"When it comes to finding out what's going on in the Middle East, there is an overwhelming temptation to turn off the TV and keep oneself firmly glued to Debka.com. With the rallying cry 'We start where the media stop,' the site is a wonder of hit-and-run journalism, and its Iraq War Diary is a must read during this time of conflict." USA Today

"On several occasions, Debka.com has beaten the Western media to information that has later shown up in U.S. newspapers… At its best, Debka.com reads like a tip sheet from the desert, from people who know… If you want to be on the cutting edge during these days of crisis and international chaos, check out DEBKA for yourself." The New York Observer Sept. 26, 2001

"Like most of these things, it is not entirely reliable. It runs releases fed by its sources. Sometimes - like all of us - it publishes things that are just plain wrong. But what is interesting and useful is that it accurately reflects a certain Israeli mindset on the politics of the Middle East as viewed by the country's spooks." Peter Beaumont, foreign affairs Editor at The Observer

"This Jerusalem-based site has achieved notoriety for its tip-sheet-like reports from the war zone. ... Debkafile has been ahead of the pack often enough to suggest that the reporting is good." Forbes
