As of April 2, 2026, security agencies and counterterrorism monitors report an increased threat of Islamic inspired terrorist attacks targeting churches and synagogues during the 2026 Easter (April 2–5) and Passover (April 1–9) holidays.
Reports indicate that ISIS and its affiliates continue to call for "lone wolf" actions against "soft targets," in the United States, Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. The recently released issue 541 of al-Naba, ISIS's official weekly newsletter, contains a featured editorial "Kill Them Wherever You Find Them" directing the attacks.
The publication has prompted security agencies in several regions to increase vigilance. implement protective measures, and advise the public to remain aware of surrondings.
