Antisemitic arson probe in London

Antisemitic arson probe in London

A man was seen placing bottles of fluid against the building in Hendon before setting them alight, though no injuries were reported.

The Metropolitan Police have increased patrols in the area and urged the Jewish community to remain calm while the investigation proceeds.

A group suspected of being Iran-backed has reportedly claimed responsibility for other recent arson incidents in north-west London.

Authorities are currently reviewing CCTV footage and forensic evidence to identify the suspect and determine if the attacks are part of a coordinated campaign.
