Code before:

            ]

            for format_id, stream_url_object in enumerate(data['video']['stream_urls'], start=1):
                stream_url = stream_url_object['stream_url']
                format_list.append({
                    'format_id': str(format_id),
                    'url': stream_url,
                    'resolution': self.extract_resolution(stream_url),
                })

            video_info = {
                'id': media_param,
                'title': main_video_to_download_filename,
                'thumbnail': thumbnail,
                'duration': duration_seconds,
                'formats': format_list,
            }

            video_info_list.append(video_info)

        if len(video_info_list) == 1:
            return video_info_list[0]
        else:
            # If there are multiple videos, create a playlist
            return self.playlist_result(video_info_list, video_id)


Review comment (refactor):
With that, we can then skip the playlist vs. single video part. I've also made some of the data extraction non-fatal:
```suggestion
        data = self._download_json(
            f'https://dal.walla.co.il/media/{video_id}?origin=player.maariv.co.il', video_id, fatal=False)['data']

        formats = []
        hls_url = traverse_obj(data, ('video', 'url', {url_or_none}))
        if hls_url:
            formats.extend(self._extract_m3u8_formats(hls_url, video_id, m3u8_id='hls', fatal=False))

        for http_format in traverse_obj(data, ('video', 'stream_urls', ..., 'stream_url', {url_or_none})):
            formats.append({
                'url': http_format,
                'format_id': 'http',
                **parse_resolution(http_format),
            })

        return {
            'id': video_id,
            **traverse_obj(data, {
                'title': 'title',
                'duration': ('video', 'duration', {int_or_none}),
                'timestamp': ('upload_date', {unified_timestamp}),
            }),
            'formats': formats,
        }
