Two more Jewish Community Centers have received bomb threats, joining the four others who were evacuated earlier in the day, as have “multiple” Anti-Defamation League offices, according to the organization.
A JCC in Davie, Florida, was evacuated, according to WSVN 7 News.
In addition, the JCC in Syracuse, New York, was put on lockdown after a threat was called in, according to Secure Community Network, the security arm of the Jewish Federations of North America.
Paul Goldenberg, the SCN director, said the Syracuse threat was different in nature from the other threats.
Meanwhile, the ADL confirmed that several of its regional offices had been threatened.
“We just received multiple #bombthreats at ADL offices,” ADL said on Twitter. “Law enforcement personnel are responding. More details to come.”
