South Africa's chief rabbi has created a specialist task force, called the 'Counter-Terror Task Force', to counter the perceived threat of terror from Iran and jihadi groups. The task force will make recommendations to protect places of worship, schools, and community centers. The chief rabbi stated that the task force's immediate objective is to secure the South African Jewish community against attacks, with the broader objective being to ensure the safety of all South Africans and citizens worldwide. The task force comprises global authorities on terror, including Admiral Mike Hewitt and Major General David Tsur.
