Abstract

NCITE products include analytical reports, white papers, reachback reports, and requests for information (RFIs) that provide in-depth, expert analysis of critical topics facing counterterrorism and homeland security. Our mission is to provide expert analysis on timely issues for stakeholders and the U.S. government.

This reachback report includes material from 27 experts in the NCITE network, writing from their professional perspectives on the impact in the U.S. of the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israel and the ensuing war. This report was produced to address an important topic to homeland security: assessing the extremist threat landscape in the U.S. one year following a major global terrorist attack. Material was gathered via written responses throughout September 2024 and has been edited for length and clarity.
