Jewish communities face an"enduring threat" in the wake of recent attacks across the country, federal authorities warned in an intelligence document obtained by ABC News.
The FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and National Counterterrorism Center on Friday advised federal, state and local authorities"to remain vigilant in light of the enduring threat to Jewish communities posed by domestic violent extremists and perpetrators of hate crimes," according to the joint intelligence document.Four incidents against Jewish communities, all of which have occurred since October 2018, were cited: the Hanukkah machete attack on Dec.
Authorities noted that most of the suspected attackers used"simple tactics and relatively easily obtainable weapons such as firearms and edged weapons, although some have sought to use explosive devices."There was no mention of foreign terror groups or Americans inspired by foreign groups, like ISIS, but rather authorities focused on risks posed by would-be domestic terrorists.
Thousands are expected to attend the"No Hate, No Fear Solidarity March" that kicks off at 11 a.m. in Lower Manhattan's Foley Square and ends at Brooklyn's Cadman Plaza.
