'Middle East erupts' and 'OBE' for Queen's funeral horse 'Middle East erupts' and 'OBE' for Queen's funeral horse

Iran's missile bombardment of Israel, after the attacks on its Hezbollah ally in Lebanon, dominates nearly all of Wednesday's front pages. "Middle East erupts" is the headline in the Times which has photos of a hail of rockets over the city of Ashkelon, and two men "on a rampage" in Tel Aviv, where six people were killed in a gun and knife attack.
"Iran's new blitz at Israel" 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.
"Revenge from above" is how the Daily Mirror describes Iran's attack. A sub-headline speaks of "fears of all-out war".
The Guardian moves past the Iranian attack to report an Israeli vow to retaliate in turn. The conflict appears to be "spiralling out of control", according to the paper.
Israel's "Iron Dome" anti-missile defences held firm, the Daily Mail notes, and now the country "vows vengeance".
The US has threatened Iran with a "severe response" to its attack on Israel, the Daily Express reports, saying "the world watched in horror" as the missiles were launched.
Iran's "missile barrage against Israel" also leads the Financial Times, where another headline talks of a "Lebanon exodus" 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 "A rocket missed me by a minute". "We were lucky, very lucky," Paul Nuki writes after his experience on an Israeli motorway.
Alongside its story about "fears of new war" in the Middle East, the I paper has a feature about a woman entering her "granny pants era" and feeling "empowered" over a photo of a pair of orange knickers on a washing line.
"Hell fire" is how the Sun sums up Tuesday's missile attack. Under the headline “Thick Knowles”, the paper also reports that DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles allegedly cast a slur on “North-East women”. The paper says he made offensive remarks in a “sleazy” chat with a young charity worker, which left her “feeling embarrassed and mortified”. Knowles, it adds, “said 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 met”. The paper says the BBC "declined to comment" but said it was “against all inappropriate behaviour" and had "robust processes if issues are raised”.
War in the Middle East is nowhere in sight on the front page of the Daily Star which splashes instead on an "animal equivalent" of an OBE for a horse that took part in the Queen's funeral. Lord Firebrand the "funeral horsey" also got two sugar cubes.

The Daily Mail, external's special correspondent, David Patrikarakos, says "the only surprise" was that the Iranian attack had not "come sooner". By splitting resources between two fronts in Gaza and Lebanon, Israel is, he says, embarking on a "hard and brutal road". And he warns a regional, and possibly global, war is now "all too real".The Daily Mail, external's special correspondent, David Patrikarakos, says "the only surprise" was that the Iranian attack had not "come sooner".

The Times suggests there will be much scrutiny of one disputed fact - whether or not the US was able to warn Israel about the missiles. Iran's representative office at the UN in New York is said to have originally denied alerting the US to the attack. But it later admitted there had been a notification. This, the Times suggests, would make it seem "Iran is still reluctant to take Israel head on".The Times suggests there will be much scrutiny of one disputed fact - whether or not the US was able to warn Israel about the missiles.

There is a suggestion from an unnamed source in the Financial Times, external that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not want Tehran involved in his fight against Hezbollah. Separately, former deputy head of Israel's National Security Council Itamar Yaar tells the paper he thinks it is very unlikely Israel would attack Iran's nuclear facilities without US support, something he suspects would not be forthcoming in the next few months.There is a suggestion from an unnamed source in the Financial Times, external that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not want Tehran involved in his fight against Hezbollah.

The Daily Mirror warns intense international diplomacy is failing but says abandoning hope is not an option. In its editorial, the Daily Express, external also urges that "military action must not be divorced from diplomacy".The Daily Mirror warns intense international diplomacy is failing but says abandoning hope is not an option.

A note of caution is sounded in the Guardian, external's editorial that Netanyahu has no clear exit strategy. It says without a diplomatic process, there are few limits to the crisis - only what the Guardian calls a "dangerous, fast‑growing, open-ended conflict".A note of caution is sounded in the Guardian, external's editorial that Netanyahu has no clear exit strategy.

Concerns about Israeli "mission creep" that could lead the entire Middle East into war are also raised in the Daily Telegraph, external's leader column. However it says Tehran is the main cause of the region's instability and US President Joe Biden and Sir Keir Starmer should decide what to do about Iran, not Israel.Concerns about Israeli "mission creep" that could lead the entire Middle East into war are also raised in the Daily Telegraph, external's leader column.

Whitehall sources tell the Guardian that despite the promises of Chancellor Rachel Reeves to invest to grow the economy, ministers are being asked by Treasury officials to find ways to cut infrastructure project costs by up to 10%. The Treasury has declined to comment on the spending review process.Whitehall sources tell the Guardian that despite the promises of Chancellor Rachel Reeves to invest to grow the economy, ministers are being asked by Treasury officials to find ways to cut infrastructure project costs by up to 10%.

And finally dog owners are told in the Times their pets may have influenced the way they address them. A study suggests humans make between four and seven different sounds a second - while dogs, when they are barking, growling and whining, make only two different noises a second on average. Canines apparently also process sounds at a more leisurely rate. The study indicates the pets respond better if "sit" and "come" are said slowly, and this has encouraged owners to speak at a pace their dogs' brains can handle.And finally dog owners are told in the Times their pets may have influenced the way they address them.
