The head of the FBI warned the threat of a terrorist attack within the United States was an extreme concern for the U.S. government and has reached a heightened level since the Israel-Hamas war.
Concern over the threat of terrorism has grown since the Oct. 7 attack in Israel by Hamas militants who killed more than 1,400 Israelis, as well as raped, tortured, and beheaded women and infants during the hourslong attack. Since then, the death toll in Gaza has risen to about 8,500, according to figures from the Hamas-run Health Ministry.
Over the past three weeks, the FBI became aware of calls by multiple foreign terrorist organizations to attack Americans and the West, according to Wray. The most specific call to attack the U.S. came from al Qaeda, while the Islamic State urged followers to target Jewish communities in the U.S. and Europe. Hezbollah endorsed Hamas and threatened to attack U.S. interests in the Middle East.
