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.

Nationwide Network Monitors Antisemitic Threats After Pittsburgh Shootings

The Secure Community Network, created by the Jewish Federations of North America after 9/11, has grown into the closest thing to an official security agency for American Jewish institutions. The group monitors reports of gunshots, bomb threats, and menacing antisemitic posts from around the country and alerts any one of thousands of synagogues, community centers, or day schools that appear to be at risk. The mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh led to the most ambitious effort ever undertaken to protect Jewish institutions in America, with the ultimate goal of securing “every single Jewish community” on the continent.
