The Times, Telegraph, Guardian, Independent, Daily Mail, Independent i and Evening Standard all report yesterday’s attack by a Hamas supporter in Jerusalem who ploughed a vehicle into a crowd of commuters, killing one and injuring 14. It was the second such attack in two weeks in Jerusalem, where violent clashes continued yesterday in Arab neighbourhoods of the city and atop the Temple Mount, which was briefly closed after Israeli security forces tackled a group hurling stones and firecrackers. The Telegraph says that the continuing unrest in Jerusalem and series of attacks by Palestinians, including the attempted assassination last week of a campaigner for greater Jewish prayer rights on the Temple Mount, has led to Israeli fears of a third Intifada.

The Financial Times also covers yesterday’s attack in Jerusalem, but focuses its report on Jordan’s decision to recall its ambassador from Israel in protest at yesterday’s clash on the Temple Mount which reached the al-Aqsa Mosque itself, which Jordanian authorities view as an Israeli provocation. Jordan retains an historic role in administering the site, which is holy to Muslims and Jews. Although Jews are permitted to visit the site in small numbers, they are prohibited from praying there for fear of a violent response.

The Guardian online covers a report published this week by Amnesty International, which claims that some Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip during Operation Protective Edge could be considered “war crimes.” However the report, which examines eight cases, was not based on any consultation with the IDF over military objectives to the incidents in question.

The Independent i reports that in the southern Israeli city of Sderot, which has been a regular target of Gaza rocket fire for the past 10 years, a unique solution to affordable student housing has been introduced. A student village has been built, with housing units constructed from used shipping containers. Each unit also includes a reinforced stairwell in case of rocket attack.

The Times covers threats made by the leader of the Syrian al-Qaeda affiliate, the al-Nusra Front towards Hezbollah. The al-Nusra leader said that his forces will launch “real war in Lebanon” against Hezbollah as punishment for the organisation’s strong military support for President Assad’s forces during the Syrian Civil War.

In the Israeli media, yesterday’s vehicle terror attacks are the top story. The attack in Jerusalem was followed last night by a similar incident in the Gush Etzion region of the West Bank. A truck with Palestinian number plates rammed a group of three Israeli soldiers, seriously injuring one of them. The attacker escaped and an IDF manhunt ensued. The dual attacks are the top story in Haaretz, Maariv which leads with the headline “Jerusalem Intifada,” and Israel Hayom and Yediot Ahronot which both proclaim “Terror by vehicle.”

There is plenty of commentary surrounding yesterday’s attacks and the general unrest which continues in Jerusalem. In Yediot Ahronot, Alex Fishman says that although “all of the Palestinian factions” are trying to “shrug off” Israeli control in Jerusalem, the situation has been inflamed by right-wing Israeli politicians who have insisted on visiting the Temple Mount at this delicate moment. However, in Maariv, Kalman Liebskind challenges Israel’s leaders to demonstrate with actions their rhetoric stressing Israeli sovereignty over all of Jerusalem. He says that Israeli law enforcement must be applied in all parts of the city and “If Jerusalem is ours, then we have to build in it everywhere. Not talk. Build. All the time. In Ramat Shlomo and in Gilo, with or without the Americans.”

Meanwhile, Israel Radio news reports that the International Criminal Court in the Hague has decided not to investigate Israel over the Mavi Marmara incident in 2010. Nine Turkish citizens were killed aboard the Gaza-bound vessel when they resisted attempts by Israeli commandos to board the ship.
