‘Online trolls’ target 26 synagogues in series of antisemitic swat calls and bomb threats: ADL

A group of “online trolls” made fake bomb threats and swatting calls against more than two-dozen synagogues across the US in what the Anti-Defamation League called a sickening display of antisemitism Sunday.

The group targeted at least 26 synagogues and two ADL offices across 12 states over the last four weekends, according to the organization.

The ADL is working with law enforcement and other community members to prevent the “ongoing disruption to Jewish prayer services, as well as additional targets, by a group of online trolls who swat and call in fake bomb threats,” Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO and national director of the ADL, said in a statement Sunday.

The suspects appear to go after synagogues that livestream their services, the ADL said.
