Since 2018, or less than four years, there have been ten attacks, or attempted attacks, on Jewish houses of worship. Over the weekend, an armed suspect took hostages inside a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas. Litvin feels this is sadly becoming the norm.
The man who authorities say was holding hostages inside a Texas synagogue on Saturday demanded the release of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani woman who is imprisoned on charges of trying to kill American service members in Afghanistan.
All of the four hostages held at a synagogue in Texas have been freed unharmed by the man who took them captive, the state's governor Greg Abbott said.
"Prayers answered. All hostages are out alive and safe," Abbott tweeted. Abbott's tweet came not long after a loud bang and what sounded like gunfire was heard coming from the synagogue, where authorities said a man had held people captive.
