European Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson warned of a significant risk of terrorist attacks in the EU before Christmas, attributing the threat to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, particularly the war between Israel and Hamas. U.S. counterterrorism concern is focused on the potential pre-staging of operatives on U.S. soil for attacks if the Israel-Hamas war expands. A new intel report reviewed by CBSNews warns foreign terrorist groups like ISIS and al Qaida may use the Israel-Hamas conflict to increase calls for violence in the U.S. this holiday season. The FBI, including Director Christopher Wray, has issued warnings about an increased threat of terrorism stemming from the Israel-Hamas war, with a focus on potential attacks inspired by Hamas. The FBI is working to prevent potential attacks, and the United States is facing the highest risk of attack in years. A resurgence of terrorism threats in Europe is linked to fallout from the Israel-Hamas war, and Israel's Diaspora Affairs Ministry has sent evidence of terrorist activity of Hamas activists in major European cities. The FBI has warned that terror threats are at unprecedented levels since Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel, and foreign terrorist organizations can exploit the southwest border as the United States faces the highest risk of an attack following the Hamas onslaught in Israel. Israel has also warned of potential activation of Hamas 'sleeper cells' amid fears of attacks across Europe over Christmas.
