Israeli Consulate employees are on high alert after “anti-Jewish” flyers with staffers’ personal details were distributed in the city.
Boston Police are investigating after they responded to a Jewish establishment in Brighton this week for a report of a threat.
A piece of mail to the Jewish institution contained a letter with a “threatening anti-Jewish message,” reads a Boston Police report. BPD’s civil rights unit has been alerted.
These “deeply troubling” flyers come amid a rise of anti-Israel violence, including in D.C. where two Israeli embassy staffers were recently gunned down.
The Consulate General of Israel to New England is closely monitoring the incident with the flyers, which contain the names and personal details of Consulate employees.
