âMiddle East eruptsâ and OBE for Queenâs funeral horse
Iranâs missile bombardment of Israel, after the attacks on its Hezbollah ally in Lebanon, dominates nearly all of Wednesdayâs front pages. âMiddle East eruptsâ is the headline in the Times which has photos of a hail of rockets over the city of Ashkelon, and two men âon a rampageâ in Tel Aviv, where six people were killed in a gun and knife attack.
âIranâs new blitz at Israelâ is how Metro describes the missile attack, which follows a similar bombardment in April. Images of fighting inside Lebanon illustrate the story including Beirut under Israeli air attack and an Israeli tank opening fire.
âRevenge from aboveâ is how the Daily Mirror describes Iranâs attack. A sub-headline speaks of âfears of all-out warâ.
The Guardian moves past the Iranian attack to report an Israeli vow to retaliate in turn. The conflict appears to be âspiralling out of controlâ, according to the paper.
Israelâs âIron Domeâ anti-missile defences held firm, the Daily Mail notes, and now the country âvows vengeanceâ.
The US has threatened Iran with a âsevere responseâ to its attack on Israel, the Daily Express reports, saying âthe world watched in horrorâ as the missiles were launched.
Iranâs âmissile barrage against Israelâ also leads the Financial Times, where another headline talks of a âLebanon exodusâ as a million people seek shelter from the fighting. The paper devotes space on the front page to a story about Jay-Z and other celebrities leaving accounting firm BDO after theft claims. BDO denies the allegations, it says.
The Daily Telegraph brings home the drama in Israel to its readers with a first-person report by a journalist headlined âA rocket missed me by a minuteâ. âWe were lucky, very lucky,â Paul Nuki writes after his experience on an Israeli motorway.
Alongside its story about âfears of new warâ in the Middle East, the I paper has a feature about a woman entering her âgranny pants eraâ and feeling âempoweredâ over a photo of a pair of orange knickers on a washing line.
âHell fireâ is how the Sun sums up Tuesdayâs missile attack. Under the headline âThick Knowlesâ, the paper also reports that DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles allegedly cast a slur on âNorth-East womenâ. The paper says he made offensive remarks in a âsleazyâ chat with a young charity worker, which left her âfeeling embarrassed and mortifiedâ. Knowles, it adds, âsaid he had encountered hundreds of people in the course of his work and cannot be expected to remember what he has said to everyone he has metâ. The paper says the BBC âdeclined to commentâ but said it was âagainst all inappropriate behaviourâ and had ârobust processes if issues are raisedâ.
War in the Middle East is nowhere in sight on the front page of the Daily Star which splashes instead on an OBE for a horse that took part in the Queenâs funeral. Lord Firebrand the âfuneral horseyâ also got two sugar cubes.
