“The conflict has generated emotive responses worldwide, including acts of violence, and terrorist elements have leveraged the conflict to further their agenda and called for attacks,” the agency said in the Singapore Terrorism Threat Assessment Report 2024.
The longstanding conflict had escalated after Hamas launched a large-scale surprise attack against Israel from the Gaza Strip, with the latter responding with airstrikes and an invasion of Gaza.
The US Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said in March this year that “it is likely that the Gaza conflict will have a generational impact on terrorism”.
