Officials: New York Synagogues, Museum Got Fake Bomb Threats
At least three synagogues and a museum in New York received bomb threats on Saturday but none were deemed credible by the New York Police Department, a city official and police said. Manhattan Borough President Mark D. Levine said on X the synagogue bomb threats were "a clear hate crime, and part of a growing trend of 'swatting' incidents targeting Jewish institutions." "This is a clear effort to sow fear in the Jewish community. Cannot be accepted," he said, according to Reuters.
