American law enforcement is taking action in the homeland as conflict between Israel and Palestinian terrorist groups escalates.

Departments in several major cities are upping security protections at Jewish synagogues, as well as Christian churches.

The development comes as Israeli citizens face violence in other countries, spurred by the assault on Israel by the terrorist group Hamas.

Two Israeli tourists were killed in Egypt by an Egyptian police officer on Sunday, according to BBC.

The New York Police Department is increasing its presence in the city’s Jewish neighborhoods, according to UPI.

The Los Angeles Police Department announced that it was increasing patrols around synagogues and Jewish community centers, according to KABC-TV.

Is America at risk for a new terrorist attack?

LAPD Chief Michel Moore cited both the safety of the Jewish and Muslim communities in the city as cause for doing so.

As Los Angeles has one of the largest Jewish communities in the Nation, we are closely monitoring the tragic attacks in Israel and have stepped up patrols around synagogues and surrounding neighborhoods. https://t.co/iSHItc4yVd

Heated demonstrations have followed the series of terrorist attacks targeting Israel — in which individuals bearing Palestinian flags have voiced support of the acts.

Israel is initiating a significant military response following the large-scale attacks.

The nation has declared war on Hamas — with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant pledging a strong response to those he termed “human animals.”
