Saudi Arabia has confirmed that Yemen’s Houthi rebels tried to attack its capital with a ballistic missile. It was the first targeting of Riyadh since the escalation in fighting with the Tehran-backed rebels that has opened a new front in the Iran war. Meanwhile, the head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said Tehran has sent Washington its conditions for ending the war via Qatar, a key mediator. In Gaza, Israeli strikes killed three people. And Israel launched airstrikes in southern Lebanon after a bomb planted by the Hezbollah militant group wounded two soldiers.

A powerful bomb has exploded at a mosque near police offices in northwestern Pakistan, killing at least 21 people and wounding at least 80. The attack occurred in Kohat, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and comes amid a surge in regional violence. Police say an attacker rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into the mosque. Several armed gunmen also attempted to enter the police compound. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack and urged swift rescue operations. No group has claimed responsibility, but suspicion likely falls on the Pakistani Taliban. This attack follows a roadside bomb that killed six soldiers on Thursday.

The Trump administration is planning to deliver powerful 2,000-pound bombs to Israel as part of an upcoming arms deal. The $2.8 billion package includes 40,000 of the bombs, made up of 20,000 Mk84s and 20,000 BLU-117s. That's according to two U.S. officials and a person familiar with the plan who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity to discuss the package, which is not yet final. Such weapons prompted such concerns about the possibility of mass casualties in Gaza that the Biden administration paused their delivery two years ago. Congress has been informally notified about the pending deal.
