FBI Director Christopher Wray has issued a warning about an increased threat landscape in the US following Hamas’ attack on Israel.
The FBI is particularly concerned about the potential for individuals or small groups inspired by Middle East events to carry out attacks domestically, with a significant focus on threats against the Jewish community, synagogues, and Jewish officials.
The current elevated threat level is driven by fears of mobilization for attacks, especially targeting Jewish, Arab, and Muslim communities.
Law enforcement officials advocate for the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, expressing concerns about funding limitations impacting their ability to counter these threats.
