A Palestinian man with Israeli citizenship has opened fire in central Israel. Israeli authorities said that the attack killed a reservist and wounded five other people. The shooter was killed by police on Sunday. The attack came as tensions run high following Israeli settler attacks and the deadly shooting of a Palestinian baby in the West Bank. Police identified the attacker as a resident of Taybeh. But his motives were unclear. Authorities initially feared coordinated attacks but later determined a gunman and an accomplice were involved. The accomplice was arrested after attempting to stab police.

The U.S. military said it carried out another strike Saturday on a boat accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing three men in the fourth attack this week and putting the total death toll at 205. U.S. Southern Command announced the strike with its usual language that the vessel was “engaged in narco-trafficking operations” and operated by a designated terrorist organization. It provided no evidence for the allegation. It’s the latest in a monthslong campaign against alleged drug boats traversing the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific. Video released by the military on social media shows a small vessel floating in the ocean before it’s hit and engulfed in a fireball.

An Austrian court has convicted a man of planning to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna nearly two years ago. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison. The state court in Wiener Neustadt found the 21-year-old defendant, an Austrian citizen, guilty on charges including those related to the concert. His defense attorney said he admitted to the charges related to the concert plot during the opening day of the trial last month. The concert plot was thwarted, but Austrian authorities still canceled Swift’s three performances in August 2024. The defendant apologized in his final words to the court ahead of the verdict.

A suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden vehicle near a railway track as a passenger train passed through the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta, killing at least 23 people and wounding over 70 others, officials said.

The attack happened in an area where security forces are usually stationed, badly damaging several nearby buildings and smashing vehicles parked along the road. Doctors at local hospitals said they had received the wounded, with 20 in critical condition.
A joint operation by the United States and Nigeria has killed 175 Islamic State fighters, Nigeria's military says. The U.S. Africa Command confirmed the operation and emphasized what it can bring to Africa, now considered the "epicenter of global terrorism." The U.S. sent troops to Nigeria in February for advisory roles, but this operation signals more active involvement. Recent gains include the killing of senior IS leaders. U.S. Air Force Gen. Dagvin Anderson on Tuesday praised Nigeria's pivotal role, highlighting the importance of partnerships in addressing threats and protecting American security interests.
President Donald Trump said he is holding off on a planned military strike on Iran at the request of several allies in the Middle East because “serious negotiations” are underway. The social media announcement about the strike planned for Tuesday comes a day after Trump warned Tehran the “clock is ticking” to strike a deal. The Trump administration on Monday also said it’s creating a $1.7 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to compensate prosecuted allies of the Republican president after he moved to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service. Democrats and government watchdogs pledged to fight the arrangement.
