While President Joe Biden and U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken work to prevent the Israel-Hamas conflict from expanding into a wider war, the U.S. intelligence community is warning behind the scenes that the conflict could spillover further into the United States itself, according to an intelligence memorandum obtained by The Daily Beast.
The potential for violence in the United States is “heightened” in response to the war, according to a Joint Intelligence Bulletin from the FBI, DHS, and the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center obtained by The Daily Beast.
“These recent events have sharpened the focus of potential attacks on targeted individuals and institutions perceived as symbolic of or tied to the conflict,” the bulletin says.
