Share on X X.com Share on Facebook Facebook Email Email The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are issuing this Public Service Announcement to highlight potential public safety concerns related to ongoing threats to Jewish and Israeli communities. On June 1, 2025, an individual approached several people at a pro-Israel gathering in Boulder, Colorado, and threw two Molotov cocktails at the group, injuring at least nine people. This attack followed a separate attack in late May 2025, in which an individual shot and killed two Israeli Embassy staffers after they attended an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. The Capital Jewish Museum attacker allegedly cited Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people when taken into custody. 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.
