Former Hamas Leader Khaled Meshaal has called for a “Day of Rage” this Friday, October 13. He is calling for all of their followers around the world to “mobilize for Jihad.”

In a joint statement, the National Security Council and the Foreign Ministry advised vigilance.

“Against the background of the Swords of Iron war, the Hamas leadership issued a call to their supporters in throughout the world to hold a ‘Day of Rage’ this coming Friday (October 13), including a call to go out and harm Israelis and Jews. From this it is likely that there will be protest events in various countries around the world, which may develop into violent events.”

Law enforcement around the world are stepping up their efforts to safeguard Jewish communities in the U.S. and abroad. Please be vigilant and stay safe. This is not a drill.
