Cities across the United States are ramping up security around Jewish houses of worship after the devastating attacks on Israel by Gaza terrorists that started Oct. 7.
Fighting between Hamas and Israel isn’t affecting security in the U.S. directly, but the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security aren’t taking any chances.
The agencies have issued public safety concern bulletins to state and local law enforcement officials to boost security around Jewish religious institutions. Particularly in cities with the largest Jewish communities and histories of anti-semitic incidents.
New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement that he won’t let cowardly terrorists “undo peace” in Jewish communities.
