Jewish communities around the globe have been warned they could be targeted ahead of what Hamas has called a global “day of jihad” tomorrow – Friday, October 13.<\/p>\n
Former Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal urged Muslims in the Middle East and around the world to rally to Hamas’ cause on Friday.<\/p>\n
Irina Tsukerman, a fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the Arabian Peninsula Institute, warned that this call as well as other factors could foreshadow an attack on Jewish communities in Israel and around the world.<\/p>\n
She told Daily Express US: \u201cHamas leader just came out in public calling for more attacks against Jewish and other targets in the West around the world on October 13.<\/p>\n
\u201cPro-Hamas networks in the West and elsewhere are already galvanized as we have seen from mass rallies in Western cities, which means such direct encouragement is likely to attract more attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

France has now banned the gatherings.<\/p>\n In London, two Jewish schools shut their doors on Thursday over safety concerns. They won\u2019t reopen until Monday morning.<\/p>\n In addition to Hamas’ calls for a day of jihad, Ms. Tsukerman pointed out that the \u201cpremier\u201d Egyptian Sunni Islamic Institution Al-Azhar has urged Palestinians to die as martyrs fighting Israel.<\/p>\n She added: \u201cWe could see both the rise of more direct lone wolf incidents inspired by these comments and eventually more efforts at mass casualty-oriented attacks, which will be better planned but will probably take more time to plan and will materialize weeks or months later.<\/p>\n \u201cWe could see a rise in the casing of and attacks on synagogues, vandalism of Jewish cemeteries, assassination attacks against Jewish and Israeli individuals, and mass attacks in subways, on the streets, tourist sites, and political areas.<\/p>\n \u201cHamas made it clear that it has a global reach, global level of backing, and backing for increasingly more international activities – and is now sophisticated enough and has sufficient capabilities to coordinate effectively with other terrorist organizations and violent actors.\u201d<\/p>\n The terrorist organization is known to be given significant funding by Iran, a country that does not recognize Israel\u2019s right to exist.<\/p>\n Follow our social media accounts here on<\/strong>\u00a0http:\/\/facebook.com\/ExpressUSNews<\/strong>\u00a0and<\/strong>\u00a0ExpressUSNews<\/strong><\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
