Arson attack on London synagogue
The attack occurred at midnight on Saturday, causing significant damage but no injuries.
Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Matt Jukes stated that the incident is being treated with 'great severity' amid a rise in antisemitic violence.
Community leaders have called for increased security and government intervention to protect Jewish sites.
The investigation is exploring potential connections to the Iranian regime and its use of 'thugs for hire' to sow discord in the UK.
