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.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
