Newspaper headlines: Israel 'vows revenge' as it 'weighs up response'

An anti-missile system operates over Israel following an Iranian attack on the country

Most of the front pages focus on Israel's possible response to Iran's unprecedented attack on its territory.

The Times and the Sun picture the launch of the first missile from Iran, while the Guardian shows an anti-missile system in operation in southern Israel. The Daily Mail says Israel was "reportedly pulled back from the brink of immediate retaliation" by US President Joe Biden. A UK government source tells the i that ministers are keen to see a de-escalation, but acknowledge that Israel has a right to self-defence.

The Financial Times quotes an Israeli source as saying the decision facing Israel's five-person war cabinet - including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - is whether to "go big" against Iran, or to respond in a more measured way. In an editorial, the Daily Express says only a "devastating" response against Iran will reduce the chances of further escalation.

Writing in the Times, Roger Boyes says the geo-political cards have been reshuffled and the shadow war between the two countries is spilling out into the open. He says that Israel's fightback cost it north of $1 billion (£805m) and showed its reliance on its main security backers, for intelligence and missile defence.

The Sun says at least four RAF "top guns" engaged in the biggest air fight since the Falklands. The paper says Typhoon fighters took out drones bound for Israel, after scrambling from a military base in Cyprus.

The Guardian says the UK's response was well-considered, with preparations going on for several days last week. The Times says the Ministry of Defence has released few details about the latest engagement due to nervousness in government over the UK's involvement. But the paper says Rishi Sunak may give more information later today.

The Times also says it's seen leaked documents which reveal that Britain has entered talks to replicate the Rwanda scheme with Armenia, Ivory Coast, Costa Rica and Botswana. The paper says the countries were approached by government officials, despite concerns raised by the Foreign Office about each of them.

The Daily Telegraph says it's seen another set of documents setting out how the UK's agreement with Rwanda is designed to incentivise the country to take upwards of 30,000 migrants. The paper says that would cost the UK £5 billion over five years.

The head of Britain's biggest cancer charity tells the Guardian that tobacco companies are lobbying MPs and peers in an effort to derail Rishi Sunak's bid to phase out smoking. The legislation, which bars anyone born after 2009 from buying cigarettes, will be debated in the Commons tomorrow. Michelle Mitchell from Cancer UK hails the bill as "world-leading" but explains to the paper that industry figures are seeking to persuade politicians to back exemptions, including for cigars.

The Daily Star says book boffins have triggered a tempest by suggesting William Shakespeare could have been a woman. The paper says the London Library is hosting a panel discussion - after the release of a book from an American literary critic on the matter. The Times says one author has written to the Library in condemnation - saying it shouldn't be promoting "a hoary conspiracy theory". The Library has not commented.
