Increased Security Measures Implemented in US Cities Amid Rising Tensions in the Middle East

Synagogues and police forces in the Chicago area are on high alert after Hamas leadership called for a "Day of Rage." A temple in Skokie received a bomb threat and was evacuated, but no explosives were found. The threat was posted on social media, coinciding with a canceled pro-Palestinian rally. The synagogue hopes this incident won't be the first of many hate crimes as the Israel-Hamas conflict continues. Security will be increased in several suburbs, and Chicago police are paying special attention to synagogues and mosques.
