Nassau County is adding more resources to protect people in the community in the wake of a general global threat.

“There has been a threat to call for action tomorrow from a former member of Hamas,” said Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.

Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder also released a statement, saying in part, “Recently we became aware of online posts announcing, “The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood, a day of general mobilization” and calls for “global jihad.”

Officials are emphasizing that there are no credible threats at this time pertaining to Long Island.
