The Financial Times and the online edition of the Daily Mail report that Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence agency yesterday reported to the country’s cabinet that there has been a marked fall in Palestinian attacks on Israelis during the past month. The wave of attacks since October had reached near-daily level at times, killing at least 31 Israelis. However, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday said that “strong, responsible and methodological” policy had seen a significant drop in attacks, although he warned that the trend could yet reverse.

The Times and the online edition of the Daily Mail both cover an IDF amnesty on equipment. The month-long drive encourages people who have served in the conscript army to return equipment at collection points across the country, with no questions asked. Already, 22 firearms, 20,000 parts of uniform, 700,000 bullets and 1,000 explosives have reportedly been returned.

The Telegraph says that at the encouragement of the Israeli government, the Catholic, Armenian and Greek Orthodox churches have agreed to put aside disagreements and cooperate over the renovation of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem’s Old City. The church is revered as the site of Jesus’ burial.

The Times, Telegraph, Independent, Daily Express, Daily Mirror, Evening Standard, Independent i and Daily Star all cover the latest instance of apparent anti-Semitism among the ranks of the Labour Party. A councillor in Luton has been suspended by the party after records showed that she had posted messages on Twitter describing Hitler as “the greatest man in history” and calling for Iran to “wipe Israel off the map.”

The Guardian online reports that Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammed Zarif has rejected a suggestion by US Secretary of State John Kerry to talk about a revised arrangement regarding Iran’s ballistic missile development. New US sanctions have recently been introduced after Iranian missile tests appeared to breach United Nations’ Security Council resolutions. However, Zarif said that Iran’s “defence capabilities” are “not negotiable.”

In Syria, the online editions of the Telegraph and Daily Mail report that the Russian air force and Syrian army are preparing for an offensive to capture Aleppo, while opposition leaders say that the fragile truce of the last several weeks is near collapse.

In the Israeli media, Israel Hayom and Maariv prominently cover the Shin Bet report, which documents a significant decline in Palestinian attacks on Israelis during the last month. Maariv highlights the Shin Bet’s emphasis that its counter-terrorism measures have been conducted while “refraining from adversely impacting the quality of life of the majority of the Palestinian population that is not involved in terrorism, and while continuing to cooperate with the Palestinian security forces.”

Meanwhile, Israel Radio news reports that overnight clashes took place between Israeli forces and locals in the Palestinian town of Aida, near Bethlehem. Israeli troops faced violence as they moved into the area to make an arrest.

The top story in Yediot Ahronot, also covered prominently in Israel Hayom, is a number of deadly road accidents yesterday, in what Yediot’s headline calls a “Black day on the roads.” Three people died in the accidents yesterday and according to Israel Hayom, there have been 88 traffic deaths so far in 2016.

The Mako news website reports that another tunnel being dug by Hamas in the Gaza Strip has collapsed, killing three of its operatives. It is the eleventh Gaza tunnel to collapse this year, with several killed, as the terror group looks to rebuild its underground network, through which it threatens to attack Israel. This morning’s report indicates that an Egyptian announcement that it destroyed a tunnel may be linked to the latest collapse.
