The Telegraph, Guardian, Independent, Independent i and the online edition of the Financial Times all cover yesterday’s multiple and large-scale attacks which killed at least 70 Egyptian security forces in the northern Sinai Peninsula, which borders Israel. The sophisticated attacks were carried out by an ISIS-affiliated group, which has periodically also threatened Israel. It is thought that weapons and fighters have been smuggled by terror groups into Sinai via the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.

The Telegraph online reports that the US has apparently blocked an attempt by regional allies to supply Kurdish fighters with weapons by air, in order to fight ISIS in Syria. The report says that the likes of Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Gulf states have accused Washington of a lack of strategy in tackling ISIS. The Times says that another Islamist group in Syria, Jaysh al-Islam has released a video of its fighters shooting dead 18 ISIS members, in a clip modelled on those produced by ISIS itself. The online editions of the Independent and Telegraph both report that the United Nations World Food Programme has said that it is running out of money and may soon be unable to feed up to half a million Syrian refugees in Jordan.

The Guardian reports on a decision yesterday in an Israeli court, which ordered that manuscripts of the writer Franz Kafka should be housed in the National Library, after a woman in possession of the documents died and her children attempted to auction them.

In the Israeli media, the top item is yesterday’s attacks by ISIS-affiliated terrorists in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. It is the main story in Maariv, Haaretz, Israel Hayom and Yediot Ahronot which leads with the headline “ISIS on the border.” Haaretz emphasises the support that Israel and Egypt believe the Sinai terror groups are receiving from Hamas in the Gaza Strip. There is also plenty of commentary on the attacks. In Yediot Ahronot, Alex Fishman predicts that “it seems now, if Egypt cannot succeed in neutralizing ISIS and its life-line in Sinai, and fails to hermetically disconnect Gaza from Sinai, this trouble will reach us sooner or later.” Similarly, Yoav Limor in Israel Hayom writes, “Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has proven that he is determined to fight terror seriously … Israel will grant all possible aid to Egypt to support its battle, knowing that an Egyptian failure would mean that sooner or later, ISIS will act against us.”

Meanwhile, Israel Radio news says that State Comptroller Yosef Shapira has completed the first draft of his report on the agreement between the government and primary investors in the natural gas industry.
