The latest attacks on Israelis, which continued yesterday are covered by the Guardian, Times, Telegraph and Metro. Four stabbings took place in Jerusalem, all carried out by young, local Palestinians. In one incident, a 13-year-old Palestinian and his 15-year-old cousin stabbed a 13-year-old Israeli boy on his bike, who suffered serious injuries. In all yesterday’s incidents the perpetrators were quickly tackled and either wounded or killed. Meanwhile, clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces continued in the West Bank.

The Financial Times covers yesterday’s fiery opening of the Knesset’s winter session, during which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to end the wave of terror, while opposition leader Isaac Herzog accused him of failure. The Times says that applications by Israelis for gun permits have spiked significantly in recent days, due to the wave of attacks. The Guardian notes that more violence is expected today due to a general strike across Arab and Palestinian communities in Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the Telegraph says that representatives of the Quartet (US, EU, UN and Russia) have cancelled a planned trip to the region this week, due to the ongoing unrest.

The online editions of the Guardian, Times and Telegraph all report that United States forces yesterday dropped ammunition by air for use by Syrian rebels fighting ISIS, in what appears to be a new American tactic. Meanwhile, European Union foreign ministers called for Russia to end its military action against non-ISIS targets in Syria and for greater overall protection for civilians.

The Times, Telegraph and Daily Mail all cover a study by Israeli scientists which has found that a daily glass of red wine could help fight diabetes. The Sun says that a separate Israeli scientific study shows that eating peas could help to reduce the chances of cancer.

The Israeli media remains dominated by the ongoing violence. There is a particular focus this morning on the attack yesterday in the northern Jerusalem neighbourhood of Pisgat Ze’ev, which saw two teenage Palestinians critically wound a 13-year-old Israeli boy. It is the top item in Yediot Ahronot, Haaretz, Maariv, which leads with the headline of “Teen terror” and Israel Hayom which calls it an “insane situation” in which a 13-year-old has “murder in his eyes.” There is plenty of commentary on the overwhelming youth of the attackers during the current violence. Writing in Yediot Ahronot, Alex Fishman says, “The young Palestinians of 2015 are nothing like previous generations. They are a lot more conscious of their abilities, of their rights, of the international support for their battle.” He adds that although “they are stabbing Israelis … they feel contempt for the PA.”

Israel Hayom and Israel Radio news both note that there will be a general strike across Arab communities in Israel today, in protest at Israeli policy and in support of the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Work places and schools will be closed. Meanwhile, Israel Radio news says that Palestinian groups have called for a “day of rage” in the West Bank.

Yesterday’s opening of the Knesset winter session is covered by Israel Radio. In particular, the report highlights a vote in favour of two new laws which will impose mandatory minimum sentences on those who throw rocks, firebombs and carry out stabbings and fine the parents of youth responsible for such crimes.
