The NYPD is drastically beefing up patrols around Jewish institutions across the five boroughs over the next day in response to the ongoing war in Iran, officials said Monday. The police department is adding hundreds of cops to watch over various Jewish centers and neighborhoods on top of the typical patrols in those areas, according to authorities. The extra security will last at least the next 24 hours through the end of the Jewish holiday Purim and also follows the deadly mass shooting in Austin that investigators are probing as a terror-related attack.
