The FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued a warning on Friday regarding the upcoming one-year anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, cautioning that it could incite violence within the United States. The authorities highlighted concerns that the anniversary might inspire extremists and individuals to commit hate crimes and instigate violence.

According to a public service announcement released by the agencies, there has been a noticeable increase in violent extremist activities and hate crimes in the U.S. that are linked to the conflict between Israel and Hamas over the past year.

Hamas carried out a brazen terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 people and the kidnapping of hundreds of hostages. This attack marked the beginning of the ongoing war between Israel and the terrorist group.
