A bomb threat was made to a Coralville synagogue on Sunday that turned out to be not credible.

KCRG TV reports the incident occurred at the Agudas Achim Congregation on Oakdale Boulevard around 12:30 pm. Arriving officers were unable to locate anything at the scene that indicated a threat, and no one was at the synagogue when the threat was reported to the department.

Antisemetic incidents in the United States are reportedly up 400 percent since the Israel-Hamas war began in October.
