Seems to be a full-court press from collected enemies of Jewish people, coming after them while the shooting war against them in Israel and Gaza continues.

FBI: Antisemitic Swatting Spree Organized, Foreign

by Luca Cacciatore | Wednesday, 20 December 2023 03:58 PM EST

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said the nationwide swatting spree targeting Jewish institutions last week likely was coordinated by an entity outside the United States.

In a confidential memo obtained by ABC News, Assistant FBI Director Cathy Milhoan told local law enforcement that "similar language and specific email tradecraft" indicate the incidents were connected. "Additionally, these threats appear to be originating from outside of the United States," Milhoan said of the record 199 swatting incidents and false bomb threats targeting Jewish facilities.

The Secure Community Network first reported on the spike in "swatting" — a dangerous practice in which someone prank calls a threat to mobilize swat teams — against Jewish facilities on Friday and Saturday.

Broken down further, the SCN found that 93 of the incidents hit Jewish facilities in California, 62 in Arizona, 15 in Connecticut, five in Colorado, and four in Washington. Other states were also targeted. SCN, a nonprofit focused on the safety and security of Jewish Americans, said the occurrences compared to last year have gone up 541% to over 449 logged swatting incidents and bomb threats against Jews.

Have there been any "SWATting" pranks, much less widespread series of them, against militant Palestinian groups? Or do those good citizens have the pranksters so cowed and afraid, that they don't dare, for fear of violent retribution?
