According to a statement released by the White House on Friday, intelligence agencies in the United States have not detected any indication that the recent terrorist strikes carried out by Hamas in Israel pose a threat to the United States.

“Yesterday, the President met with his national security team along with the Attorney General Secretary, my office, DHS, and other administration officials in the White House Situation Room to discuss the current homeland threat environment, what we’re doing to prepare to safeguard Jewish and Muslim communities across the country,” John Kirby, a spokesperson on national security issues, told reporters on Oct. 13.
