The attacks by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel continue to dominate the front pages. The BBC has come under criticism for referring to Hamas as militants rather than terrorists - a position explained by the BBC's World Affairs Editor, John Simpson.The attacks by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel continue to dominate the front pages. The BBC has come under criticism for referring to Hamas as militants rather than terrorists - a position explained by the BBC's World Affairs Editor, John Simpson.
The Hamas attack on Israel continues to lead many of the papers. The Daily Telegraph reports that the Royal family branded Hamas "terrorists", saying they were "appalled" by the attacks on Israel. The King condemned the "barbaric acts of terrorism". The paper also reports that the BBC faces "increasing pressure to change its stance" and refer to the proscribed organisation as terrorists rather than militants.
The Daily Express says that fury has greeted a plan to "temporarily stop sending rapists and burglars to jail as prisons are full". Lord Edis, senior presiding judge for England and Wales, is said to have ordered a delay to the sentencing of convicted criminals currently on bail from next week, the paper adds.
The Daily Mail also leads with the condemnation by King Charles of "barbaric acts of terrorism" inflicted on Israel. The paper says he was backed by the Prince and Princess of Wales, whom it quoted as saying: "The horrors inflicted by Hamas's terrorist attack upon Israel are appalling." The Mail says the use of the word "terrorism" to describe the atrocities "came in sharp contrast to the BBC" which refers to Hamas as a "militant group".
The Times reports that Israel united around a new government on Wednesday as it "prepared for an invasion of Gaza, expected as early as next week". Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a televised address on Wednesday in which he said Israel was on the attack, and "every member of Hamas is a dead man", the paper adds.
The Metro says that Hamas bombed an Israeli hospital while doctors treating thousands of wounded in besieged Gaza faced medicine shortages and blackouts as its only power plant ran out of fuel.
The Financial Times reports that Israel formed an emergency war cabinet and unity government as it "tightened" its siege of the Gaza strip ahead of an "expected ground offensive" against armed Palestinian groups. In the UK, the paper reports that the scale of the Labour Party's "flagship £28bn 'green prosperity plan' has been cut further" as shadow ministers push back its timing and reduce its expected scope by as much as £8bn a year.
The i reports that Israel is "preparing for war on three fronts" and that the new unity government was due to meet on Wednesday night to "approve invasion plans" submitted by army chiefs while thousands of troops waited near the border.
Israelis are suspended between fear, grief and grim preparation for more losses, as details of massacres of families in their homes emerge from southern areas, the Guardian reports. The paper says the country is preparing for a "major operation" against Hamas in Gaza.
The Daily Mirror says that the Middle East was on the "brink of full-scale war" on Wednesday night as Israel and Hamas stepped up attacks. The paper shows an image of a distraught woman at Ashkelon in Israel as rockets hit.
The Sun says that Captain Tom's family confessed to "pocketing money" from the NHS fundraising veteran. The paper says his daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore told TalkTV's Pier Morgan they had kept £800,000 from three books he had written and that Sir Tom had "wanted them" to keep the book profits.
And the headline in the Daily Star reads "the Matrix may be real" and says a physicist fears we may all be characters in a "virtual world" created by an advanced computer.
The events in Israel and Gaza are once again the main focus. The Times says Israel's new coalition government is preparing to invade Gaza as "early as next week".The events in Israel and Gaza are once again the main focus.

"Israel steps up blitz on Gaza," says the Sun. The Daily Mirror says Israel and Hamas "trade blows" as the world "holds its breath" ahead of an "all out attack".

The Guardian has spoken to civilians in Israel who say normal life is "on hold" as they ready themselves for more loss. One woman describes how her son and daughter, aged 10 and six, do not want to shower because the air raid sirens give only a 90-second warning to reach a shelter, and they fear they might not make it in time.The Guardian has spoken to civilians in Israel who say normal life is "on hold" as they ready themselves for more loss.
