AT LEAST 18 bomb threats against synagogues and Jewish community centres have been reported across nine US states this month, according to a new report.
The Secure Community Network (SCN) said the “alarming number serves as a reminder that the Jewish community remains a top target for hate crimes in the United States and must continue to foster preparedness and resiliency.”
The organisation said it was actively working with community leaders and law-enforcement agencies to address the spate of bomb threats.
