Capitol Hill will have increased security presence and activity because of the Israel-Hamas conflict and online discussions of a “Global Day of Rage” set for Friday, according to a notice sent to congressional staff by House Sergeant at Arms William McFarland.
The Capitol Police said there are not specific threats directed at Congress, but the agency is “enhancing security through the Capitol Complex.” McFarland also said his office’s current intelligence “indicates no direct threats to the U.S. homeland or the Congressional Community.”
“We are actively monitoring information circulating on social media and other platforms” about the day of rage, the notice said.
