(WBBM NEWSRADIO) – Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications released a statement this afternoon that the city has not received any "actionable" threats related to the terrorist attacks in Israel.

The office made the statement following several reports of fighter jets along the lakefront downtown.

OEMC says those jets were practicing for their flyover Sunday at the start of the Chicago Bears game at Soldier Field. Chicago hosts the Minnesota Vikings.
