A terrorist armed with an automatic weapon attacked a McDonald's restaurant at the central bus station in Be'er Sheva during the afternoon. A 19-year-old female Border Police officer was killed, and ten others were injured in the attack, including a woman in serious condition and four men in moderate condition, all suffering gunshot wounds. Five others were listed in good condition, having sustained injuries from glass shards or blunt trauma, and three individuals were treated for acute anxiety. Authorities are investigating whether the attack involved both stabbing and gunfire. The shooter, identified as Ahmad al-Uqbi, 29, an Israeli citizen from the unrecognized Bedouin village of Uqbi near Hura, was killed at the scene by IDF soldiers. He was related to Muhanad al-Uqbi, who carried out a similar deadly attack in the same bus station in 2015 and had a prior criminal record.

At around 23:00 local time, a suicide car bomber detonated a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) near a convoy of Chinese engineers close to Karachi airport. Two Chinese nationals were killed in the attack, and at least 11 other people were injured, including one critically. A third body, not yet officially identified, is believed to be that of the attacker. The Chinese nationals were part of the Chinese-funded Port Qasim Power Generation Co Ltd, which is constructing two coal power plants near Karachi. Following the attack, the Airport Security Force sealed the exit and entry points of the airport and cordoned off the area. A traffic police statement issued at 8:22 am the following morning stated that the airport road had been cleared and was open for traffic. The separatist Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), which has carried out attacks on Chinese nationals involved in development projects in Pakistan in recent years, claimed responsibility for the attack and identified the perpetrator as a member of its Majeed Brigade. The BLA and other ethnic Baloch groups have waged a long-running insurgency for a separate homeland, often targeting Chinese nationals, alleging that local residents do not benefit from the wealth generated by foreign investments in their province.

At around 7 pm local time, two terrorists, one armed with an M-16 assault rifle and the other with a knife, emerged from the Al-Nuzha Mosque along Jerusalem Boulevard in Jaffa. They threatened worshipers while waiting for the light train connecting Tel Aviv and Bat Yam. As the train arrived, they boarded a car and attacked passengers and bystanders, both on the train and at the station. Seven people were killed, and 16 others were wounded in the shooting and stabbing attack. The police reported that the attackers, residents of Hebron in their 20s, were in Israel without permits. Both were shot dead by a passerby and an inspector from the SLA (Urban Security Patrol) at the scene. After extensive searches, police confirmed there were no additional terrorists in the area. The following day, Hamas' military wing, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, claimed responsibility for the attack, identifying the attackers as Mohammed Mesek and Ahmed Himouni from Hebron. It remains unclear how they entered Israel from the West Bank.

An Israeli drone strike hit an apartment building on Jamous Street in the predominantly Shia Muslim Dahiyeh district of southern Beirut, a stronghold of the militant Hezbollah organization. The strike targeted a meeting between Ibrahim Akil, head of the organization’s special operations, and commanders from the elite Radwan Force. Akil and 10 of the commanders were among the 14 people killed in the attack, which also wounded nearly 60 others. The airstrike caused significant damage to buildings and infrastructure. Akil, who was involved in the bombings of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in April 1983, which killed 63 people, and the U.S. Marine barracks in October 1983, which killed 241 U.S. personnel, had a reward of up to US$7 million on his head, issued by the United States government. The Israeli military confirmed the attack after Hezbollah launched approximately 150 rockets into northern Israel in retaliation for the capture of beepers and two-way radios, allegedly used by Hezbollah members and claimed to have been intercepted by the Israeli Mossad agency.

At 3:30 PM local time, approximately 4,000 pagers used by Hizballah operatives exploded in the Dahiyeh al-Janoubia area of Beirut, as well as in several other locations in southern Lebanon and Syria, in a combined explosive and cyber-attack. The devices reportedly contained small amounts of explosives that detonated after a signal caused their lithium batteries to overheat. According to Lebanese health officials, 12 people were killed and 2,850 were injured, 300 of whom are in serious condition. Various media reports indicate that around 500 of the injured lost their eyesight. Hundreds of the wounded were transferred to Syria and later to Iran for medical treatment. Among the wounded were Mojtaba Amani, the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, who lost an eye and suffered severe head injuries, and the son of Hassan Fadlallah, Hizballah's representative in the Lebanese parliament. Additionally, over 30 Hizballah operatives were wounded by similar explosions in rural areas of Idlib Governorate and Damascus. In a televised address on September 19, Hizballah's Secretary General, Hassan Nasrallah, stated that the organization had suffered an unprecedented blow, which he called a declaration of war, and vowed severe retaliation.
