No Current Threat To New York State

Since Hamas's initial attack in Israel over the weekend, the death toll on both sides has risen to over 1,5000, including 11 Americans.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul says there are currently no active threats against the state following the Hamas attacks on Israel.

“Yes, there will be a war, but it will be a just war,” Hochul said Monday night to a crowd of hundreds at a reform synagogue in Albany. “Mark my words, I assure you as the governor I will make sure that we leave no stone unturned to find out how we can make sure that every single one of you is safe when you gather because that is your God-given right to exercise your belief, your religion, your true identity."
