Al-Naba (Arabic: النبأ lit. The News or The Report) is an official weekly newspaper issued by the Central Media Office of the Islamic State, first published in 2014.[2][3][4][5]

The first issue of the newspaper was published in May-June 2010, and on 17 October 2015 it started its activity as an official weekly newsletter.[6] As of January 9, 2025, it published 477 issues.[7]

With the defeat of IS in both Syria and Iraq, the newspaper temporarily stopped being published, although it resumed as the organisation regrouped.[8]
