U.S. authorities issued a warning on Oct. 26 about the growing threat posed by “violent extremists and lone offenders” on U.S. soil, in light of the current conflict between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI stated in a joint Oct. 25 bulletin that the threat level has increased since their initial warning this month.
