The Times and the online edition of the Telegraph both report that at least 10 Syrian soldiers were killed in Israeli air strikes, launched on Sunday night in response to the killing of an Israeli teenager through a Syrian attack. The number of deaths was estimated by the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Meanwhile, the Independent i notes that Israeli forces arrested a further 37 Palestinian suspects on Sunday night in connection with the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers from the West Bank 10 days ago.

The continuing military success of the Sunni Jihadist group ISIS is widely reported, including the group’s capture of a Jordanian border crossing. The Telegraph, Financial Times, Times and the online edition of the Independent all report that Jordanian forces are boosting their presence along the Iraqi border. An editorial in the Telegraph suggests that Israel would come to Jordan’s aid if necessary, with the two countries having signed a peace treaty in 1994. Meanwhile, the Guardian includes a feature on the effective use by ISIS of social media and apps to spread propaganda surrounding its campaign.

The online editions of the Guardian and Telegraph both report that a suicide car bomb in a Shi’ite area of Beirut yesterday wounded 19 people, in a probable spill-over from the fighting in neighbouring Syria. The Guardian online also says that Syria’s government has handed over the last of its declared chemical weapons to international inspectors. However, the article emphasises that this does not include undeclared chemical capabilities, including crude chlorine weaponry.

The Guardian, Telegraph and Independent all report international outrage over yesterday’s sentencing in an Egyptian court which saw three Al Jazeera journalists handed 7-10 years imprisonment for helping a “terrorist organisation” through their reporting. Prime Minister David Cameron said he was “completely appalled” by the ruling. In the Guardian, Simon Tisdall says that the sentences are a snub to US Secretary of State John Kerry who the day beforehand had visited Egypt and expressed his concerns surrounding the case to President al-Sisi.

In the Israeli media, comments made yesterday by Hamas’s political leader Khaled Mashaal regarding the kidnapping of the three Israeli teenagers are the top story in Haaretz and a major item in Yediot Ahronot. Mashaal applauded those who carried out the abduction but claimed to have no information on the kidnapping itself. Writing in Yediot Ahronot, Yossi Yehoshua suggests that there is growing frustration within Israel’s security establishment at the lack of tangible progress in the operation to locate the missing youngsters.

The top story in Yediot Ahronot and Israel Hayom is the announcement yesterday that Ziad Awad, a Palestinian who had been released as part of the 2011 deal to free Gilad Shalit, has been arrested and indicted for the murder of an Israeli travelling in the West Bank on the eve of the Passover holiday. The announcement has sparked a debate over the wisdom of large-scale prisoner releases. The story is also a major item in this morning’s Haaretz and Maariv.

Israel Hayom also reports that the Golan Heights is on alert after the Israeli Air Force strikes which hit military targets in Syria on Sunday night, in response to an attack from Syria which killed an Israeli teenager. Israel Radio news says that Syria has complained to the United Nations that the Israeli response was a flagrant violation of international law.
