Oct. 7: One Year Later

"The noise in America right now is very loud." 

One year following the attack on Israel by Hamas, the scope and intensity of the conflict has expanded beyond Israel's borders to Lebanon and Iran, increasing regional and global tensions. In a newly published white paper requested by DHS, the NCITE consortium weighs in on the key homeland security concerns resulting from the crisis. Erin sits down with NCITE director Gina Ligon, Ph.D., to discuss the anniversary. Ligon draws on her research on ISIS to analyze Hamas's online outreach and how it has increased the risk of homegrown violent extremism.
