A bomb threat was called in at the Betty and Marvin Zale Early Childhood Learning Center, a Jewish preschool in Boca Raton, Florida, on Monday, prompting local law enforcement to evacuate the area. The preschool was evacuated, as was at least one other nearby educational facility, the Katz Yeshiva High School. A student from the high school reported that an announcement was made over the loudspeaker about the bomb threat at the school next door, and traffic was blocked. As of the time of reporting, there has been no confirmation of any suspicious items found by law enforcement. The StopAntisemitism nonprofit organization responded to the incident on X/Twitter, stating that no child should have to face such terror at school and calling for the responsible party to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
