The Jewish Federation of Greater Houston is warning Houston residents about the "growing problem of antisemitism" in the metro after two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C. were killed earlier this week.

The museum, located 1.3 miles from the White House in Washington, D.C., is in a busy part of the city packed with federal offices and museums.

The shooting of Israeli Embassy staff in DC underscores the need for heightened security at Jewish landmarks, with NYPD leading in anti-terror efforts.
