The attack followed another that happened late last month at the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., where one person shot and killed two Israeli Embassy staff members. According to the announcement, the attacker allegedly cited Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people.
The announcement read in part:
The ongoing Israel-HAMAS conflict may motivate other violent extremists and hate crime perpetrators with similar grievances to conduct violence against Jewish and Israeli communities and their supporters. Foreign terrorist organizations also may try to exploit narratives related to the conflict to inspire attacks in the United States. The FBI and DHS therefore urge the public to remain vigilant and to report any threats of violence or suspicious activity to law enforcement.
FBI, DHS Public Service AnnouncementThe FBI said it encourages people to report suspicious activity online or contact their local FBI field office. Anyone with concerns involving U.S. citizens abroad can contact the Department of State's Overseas Citizens Services at (888) 407-4747 or complete an online Crisis Intake Form.
