New string of JCC bomb threats. As of Monday, February 27 at 12:35 Eastern time, Peter Alexander from NBC is reporting bomb threats at Jewish community centers and day schools in North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Indiana, Michigan, and New York. This is the fifth wave of targeted bomb threats against Jewish community centers and schools this year.

I’ll try to update this post throughout the day as more information comes in.

Updated information from Reuters:

At least 16 Jewish community centers and schools around the United States reported receiving bomb threats on Monday, NBC News reported, the fifth wave of such threats this year that have stoked fears of a resurgence of anti-Semitism.

The threats, all of which appeared to be hoaxes, were received at centers in North Carolina, Delaware, Alabama, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Florida and Indiana, according to NBC News. For some centers, it was the second or third time this year that they have been targeted.

The JCC Association, an umbrella group for U.S. Jewish community centers, confirmed there had been a number of threats, but was still compiling details.
