The Times, Guardian, Independent, Independent i and the Guardian all cover an attack yesterday by a local Palestinian motorist, who rammed his car into passengers waiting at a light railway station in Jerusalem. A three-month-old baby girl was killed in the attack and seven were injured. The assailant was shot near the scene and later died of his wounds. The attack follows several months of high tension and low-level violence in Arab neighbourhoods of Jerusalem. The Guardian notes that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas of inciting violence in Jerusalem in recent statements.

The Guardian online reports that two Israeli soldiers, including a female commander, were wounded in an attack yesterday on a patrol on the Egyptian border. Anti-tank and small arms fire were directed at the patrol. Reinforcements soon arrived and the attack was repelled. It is unclear whether the attack was the work of a terror group in Sinai or drug smugglers.

The Times covers a report from yesterday’s Haaretz, which claimed to have obtained a leaked European Union document outlining five ‘red lines’ which it will demand of Israel over West Bank construction. In an interview in the Financial Times, Israel’s Economy Minister and leader of the Jewish Home party Naftali Bennett says that “new models” are needed as this summer’s Gaza conflict was further evidence that the two-state solution is unrealistic.

The Independent i says that Israel is pioneering new design for burial grounds. Due to a shortage of land, Israeli cemeteries are increasingly adopting vertical burial plots to allow graves to be constructed one on top of another.

The Financial Times says that Iranians are still battling to make ends meet, despite a fall in inflation. Meanwhile, the Guardian online reports that demonstrations have taken place in the Iranian city of Isfahan against a spate of acid attacks on women deemed to have been dressed immodestly.

The Times says that the Syrian army is increasingly detaining and drafting men under the age of 35-years-old due to growing desperation to find reinforcements as the country’s civil war continues to rage.

In the Israeli media, headlines are dominated by the attack yesterday in Jerusalem, which killed a baby girl. It is the top story in Israel Hayom, Haaretz, Maariv and Yediot Ahronot which leads with the headline “Terror against a baby.” Commenting in Yediot Ahronot, Alex Fishman lends the incident a wider context, saying that in the past several months, “the area enveloping Jerusalem and the Temple Mount has been on brink of anarchy. Neither the Palestinian Authority nor Israel has succeeded in controlling it.” Also in Yediot Ahronot, Shimon Shiffer accuses Prime Minister Netanyahu of not “taking any initiative that could extinguish the flames.”

Maariv and Israel Hayom also prominently cover the attack yesterday on Israeli soldiers patrolling the border with Egypt. Maariv says that the incident was the result of a drug smuggling operation gone wrong.

Meanwhile, Haaretz says that Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett has told Prime Minister Netanyahu that unless he permits the advancement of West Bank construction, he will destabilise the coalition. The Knesset returns to session next week and the report suggests that Bennett’s party could abstain from a no confidence vote.
