U.S. Jews Suffer from Prank Calls to Emergency Services, False Bomb Threats
(Jerusalem Post) "In the past 24 hours, the Secure Community Network (SCN - the official safety and security organization of the Jewish community in North America) has tracked a staggering 199 swatting (prank call) incidents and false bomb threats targeting Jewish facilities, including 93 in California, 62 in Arizona, 15 in Connecticut, five in Colorado, and four in Washington state, among others," SCN said on Saturday. In the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, SCN logged 772 security incidents and antisemitic activity in October and 634 in November, including vandalism, harassment, and assault. In October and November alone, SCN referred 230 individuals to law enforcement.
