Florida police are investigating the origins of antisemitic fliers left overnight at hundreds of homes in the Miami Beach area, local officials said on Sunday as they denounced the latest incident to rattle Jewish communities in the United States.
Police in Miami Beach and nearby Surfside, Fla., said they increased patrols in neighborhoods and at religious institutions in response. The fliers appeared in the wake of high-profile attacks on Jewish people, including a gunman’s hostage-taking last weekend at a Texas synagogue and a woman’s arrest in New York after she allegedly spat on an 8-year-old child and made hateful statements.
