Former Hamas Leader's Call for 'Global Day of Jihad' Raises Concerns for LA Jewish Community

Law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles are increasing patrols and taking extra precautions following a call by a former Hamas leader for a "day of rage" on Friday. The Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department have stated that there are no known credible threats to the local Jewish community, but they are remaining vigilant and assessing the situation. Other local law enforcement agencies have issued similar statements. The increased security measures come as tensions continue to rise in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, with Israel targeting Hamas and innocent civilians caught in the middle.
