NYC Synagogues, Museum Targeted with 'Swatting' Bomb Threats; FBI Investigating
May 5, 2024, 02:30 PM
Over the weekend, multiple synagogues in New York City, including Rodeph Shalom on W. 83rd and Chabad of Midtown on 5th Ave & 43rd, received bomb threats. These threats, which also targeted the Brooklyn Museum, were part of a broader wave of antisemitic incidents across the city. Authorities, including the NYPD and FBI, confirmed that the threats were not credible and are investigating them as part of a disturbing trend of 'swatting' against Jewish institutions. New York officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul, have condemned the threats and emphasized the importance of security for all houses of worship.
