Thanksgiving Parade Security Heightened Amid Explosions and War

The NYPD is increasing security measures for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City due to heightened tensions surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict and a car explosion at the U.S.-Canada border. Law enforcement agencies will have a robust presence on highways and entry points, with additional visibility on bridges from the air. The car explosion occurred at the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls, New York, but authorities believe it was not an act of terrorism or sabotage. Despite the incident, there are no specific or credible threats to the parade, which is expected to be attended by an estimated 3.5 million people.
