Jews in the United States have been increasingly purchasing firearms in the aftermath of the Hamas attack, with many of them worried about safety amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

“We’ve definitely seen a tremendous increase in religious Jewish people, Orthodox people, purchasing firearms,” David Kowalsky, a Jewish man who owns Florida Gun Store in the town of Hollywood, Florida, told NBC News. “I’ve seen a surge in interest in individual training as well as group training.”
