Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and National Counterterrorism Center Director Christine Abizaid testified before the House panel on global threats. Wray expressed 'great concern' over border gotaways and the significant increase in individuals on the terror watchlist crossing the border, now totaling 294. He highlighted that the threat level against the U.S. has escalated to 'a whole other level' since the Hamas attack on Israel, with specific threats targeting the Jewish community. Wray also noted Hamas' support for Hezbollah and the potential for Hamas to exploit the conflict to attack the U.S. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have sounded the alarm on increased security threats following the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel and have initiated multiple investigations into Hamas to prevent potential attacks and disrupt financial support for the group.
