The Guardian and online editions of the Telegraph and Independent cover the shooting of an Israeli soldier, named as 31-year-old Shlomi Cohen, who was killed yesterday evening by a Lebanese army sniper during an incident on the border. Although the exact circumstances of the incident which took place near the Israeli border town of Rosh Hanikra remain unclear, it appears the Lebanese soldier was acting alone and that the attack was not part of a wider infiltration attempt. Israel lodged an official complaint with the United Nations observer force in the area.

The Guardian, Independent and Independent i report that the Gaza Strip has received its first industrial fuel shipment in 45 days, helping relieve local residents in the wake of a severe winter storm. Israel ships fuel to Gaza on behalf of the Palestinian Authority (PA), although Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, has refused to receive the shipments as it will not pay the tax it would incur. The Guardian says Qatar has footed the tax bill on this occasion while Israel has also delivered diesel and water pumps to Gaza during the weekend as a humanitarian gesture.

The Daily Mail and Daily Mirror both report on the arrest and reported confession of an alleged MI6 spy in Iran. The nationality of the accused remains unknown but both reports suggest that the incident could complicate the recent thaw in UK-Iran relations. The UK recently appointed a non-resident charges d’affaires, the first diplomatic representation to Iran since the British Embassy in Tehran was ransacked by a violent mob in 2011.

The online editions of the Guardian and Telegraph both report that President Assad’s forces have bombed the north Syrian city of Aleppo, killing at least 36 people including 16 children. The reports say helicopters dropped rudimentary bombs on a residential area in the city.

Meanwhile, the Times online includes a report that women are now taking leading roles in the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, following the arrest and close monitoring of the organisation’s male leaders during the past few months.

In the Israeli media, Maariv, Makor Rishon and Israel Hayom all lead with the shooting of an IDF soldier on the Lebanese border yesterday evening. Israel Radio news says that Shlomi Cohen will be buried in Haifa this afternoon. Meanwhile, Makor Rishon notes that yesterday’s incident was the second time within a week that IDF troops had come under fire on the Lebanese border. Writing in Maariv, Amir Rapaport suggests that Israel is not likely to respond to the shooting “in a manner that is liable to set the entire northern border ablaze.”

The severe weekend storm which struck Israel is the other major news item this morning and is covered prominently in Yediot Ahronot, Maariv, Haaretz and Makor Rishon. Israel Radio news reports that 8,000 homes remain without power this morning and schools in Jerusalem, the surrounding areas and in much of the north will be closed today. Some major traffic arteries to Jerusalem are still not open following the huge snowfall over the weekend. Israel Hayom says that the storm’s damage could cost Israel’s economy as much as one billion shekels (£571million).

Haaretz also reports that the Ministerial Committee for Legislation yesterday approved a bill backed by Likud-Beitenu and Jewish Home which would see donations from foreign governments to Israeli NGOs deemed to demonize Israel lose their tax exemption. However, Yesh Atid and Hatnuah ministers voted against the bill and Justice Minister Tzipi Livni pledged to appeal the proposed legislation.
