The Times reports on the latest terror attack on Israelis yesterday, in which a Palestinian man rammed his car into a crowd of commuters waiting at a bus stop near Jerusalem’s central bus station. 14 people were injured, including an 18-month old baby, who is in danger of having a limb amputated. The assailant was shot and killed by security personnel before being able to exit the vehicle, but an axe was found in his car, indicating the intention to harm additional bystanders. The attack is the latest in a wave of violence in which at least 21 Israelis have been killed since the start of October. The article also says a new poll indicates that two thirds of Palestinians support the attacks.

The Independent and Independent i both report on a decision by Israel’s Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon to ban the pressure group Breaking the Silence (BtS) from army bases and facilities. BtS provides a platform for former-Israeli soldiers to anonymously provide testimony critical of IDF behaviour, which is widely published not only in Israel but also abroad.

The Times covers a report in the Israeli media, which claims that a former-IDF infantry soldier, an Arab Israeli man, has now joined ISIS in Syria. Several Arab Israeli citizens are thought to have travelled to Syria to fight with ISIS and five men were arrested in northern Israel last week on suspicion of planning an attack in Israel on ISIS’s behalf.

The Independent online says that IDF officials have rebuked soldiers who disrupted a live Palestinian television report by making comments and signs in the background on camera. Their behaviour was described as “unbecoming” by the IDF spokesperson.

Comments made in the Jewish Chronicle by actor Steven Berkoff are covered in the Independent i. Berkoff criticised what he described as Israeli insensitivity towards Palestinian religious feelings regarding the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The sensitive site has been a controversial focal point of the current violence.

The Telegraph online includes a picture gallery documenting the work of Israel’s equine hospital in Rishon Le Zion.

The online editions of the Guardian and Telegraph both report that Egyptian investigators have said that there is no evidence of terror involvement in the crash which saw more than 220 people killed on a Russian airliner in late October. ISIS said that it had carried out the attack and Russian investigators concluded that the plane was downed in a terror attack.

The Guardian online reports that United Nations officials have said that Syrian children face “irreversible” health problems due to food shortages as a result of the country’s civil war.

In the Israeli media, the top story in Yediot Ahronot, Maariv, Haaretz and Israel Hayom is the terror attack in Jerusalem yesterday, which injured 14 people including a baby. Yediot Ahronot’s headline is “Terrorist versus baby,” while Israel Hayom’s front page focuses on the pledge by the baby’s father that his son will soon smile again. Israel Radio news reports that in the wake of yesterday’s attack, Israeli leaders decided to fortify hundreds of bus stops in Jerusalem to guard against similar incidents.

Maariv and Yediot Ahronot report prominently on comments made yesterday by Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who indicated that he wishes to normalize relations with Israel. Diplomatic ties were cut in 2010 after the deaths of nine Turkish citizens who were killed whilst trying to prevent Israeli commandos taking over a Gaza-bound protest ship, the Mavi Marmara. However, Yossi Melman in Maariv says that during the interim period, Israel has built close ties with Greece and Cyprus and that “in the emerging reality, Turkey needs this more than Israel.”

Israel Radio news covers a report published yesterday by the non-profit Latet, which said that there are around 2.6 million Israelis living in poverty, 900,000 more than the National Insurance Institute estimated last week in its annual poverty report.
