The Telegraph reports on the continuation of Gaza violence yesterday, including heavy rocket fire which hit Israel while Hamas threatened to target Ben Gurion International Airport. The Guardian emphasises Israeli airstrikes in Gaza and comments made by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, who compared Hamas to ISIS. The Independent and Evening Standard also provide overviews of yesterday’s developments.

Meanwhile, the Financial Times, Times, Daily Express, Independent i, Daily Mirror and the Sun all focus on an Israeli air strike which targeted Hamas’s military commander Mohammed Deif, who has long been among Israel’s most wanted terror targets. The raid killed Deif’s wife and son, but it remains unclear whether Deif himself was also killed or not. The Independent includes a feature on the daily existence of Hamas’s senior leadership, who it says either live in Qatar or are constantly on the move in Gaza to avoid detection and assassination.

The Financial Times reports that donor countries to Gaza, led by Norway, are calling on Israel to lift restrictions on movement in and out of the Gaza Strip, as a precondition to the future reconstruction of Gaza.

The Daily Express says that Labour leader Ed Miliband is under pressure to take action against frontbencher Shabana Mahmood MP, who appeared to encourage Free Gaza protestors to disrupt supermarkets stocking Israeli goods. Meanwhile, the Daily Star and Metro report that Bradford MP and virulent Israel critic George Galloway has been questioned by police over public comments which included a declaration that Bradford is an “Israel-free zone.”

Writing in the Times, Daniel Finkelstein says that for the first time in his life, anti-Semitism is now an issue in Britain, with a perceptible shift in attitudes since the recent Gaza conflict began. In the Daily Express, Douglas Murray warns that anti-Semitism and jihadist activity is a problem that should concern everyone in Britain and the Western world. He says that “nothing could be further from the truth” than blaming Israel for Islamic extremism and that “Israel is not the cause of the world’s problems, it is simply on the front line of them.”

In other regional news, the online editions of the Guardian and the Telegraph both report the views of an expert who yesterday said that British jihadists are “among some of the most vicious” members of ISIS and other groups.

In the Israeli media, the top item in Haaretz and Maariv is the air strike which attempted to kill Hamas’s military commander Mohammed Deif. Haaretz says that Hamas denied Deif was even injured in the operation, while Maariv’s headline simply states “Number one wanted man: Alive or dead.” In Yediot Ahronot, Yossi Yehoshua says it is very unlikely that Deif survived the strike, while Nahum Barnea comments that killing Deif “is the only way to have a significant achievement against a terror organisation at a relatively cheap investment of effort and blood.”

Meanwhile, the top story in Yediot Ahronot and Israel Hayom is the press conference held last night by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alongside Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon, following a lengthy meeting of the security cabinet. Israel Hayom emphasises Netanyahu’s message that no Hamas leader is immune, in a possible reference to Deif. However, Yediot Ahronot and indeed Maariv both focus on the public rebuke which Netanyahu gave to cabinet colleagues who have criticised aspects of his handling of the Gaza conflict. Writing in Maariv, Ben Caspit slams Netanyahu and Ya’alon’s comments yesterday as “on all the real matters, the prime minister and the defence minister didn’t say anything. Not a single thing that was new.”

Israel Radio news this morning reports that members of the Palestinian negotiating team in Cairo believe that Gaza ceasefire talks with Israel will resume next week.
