International Swatting Spree Targets Jewish Institutions, Leaving Communities on High Alert

The FBI is investigating a nationwide swatting spree that targeted nearly 200 Jewish institutions, with over 30 of its field offices involved in the investigation. The threats, which violated federal laws, appear to be coordinated and originating from outside the United States. No actual explosive devices or credible risk of harm have been found so far. A non-profit organization tracking the incidents reported a significant increase in swatting and bomb threats this year, with a record number of incidents logged in October and November. The FBI emphasized the safety of faith-based communities as a top priority.
