Surge in Threats Reported in US Following Israel Attacks
The FBI has reported an increase in threats in the US following the Israel-Hamas war, with Director Christopher Wray stating that foreign terrorist organizations could exploit the conflict to incite attacks on American soil. While most threats have been deemed not credible, Jewish and Muslim institutions have been targeted. The FBI has issued warnings to law enforcement agencies and has been meeting with leaders in Jewish and Muslim communities to address the situation. The agency is also working to identify and assist Americans impacted by the attacks in Israel.
