London Synagogue Arson Probe
A wave of anti-Jewish violence has put London's Jewish community on high alert following multiple arson attacks over the past month.
The Metropolitan Police are focusing on a shadowy online group with suspected ties to Iran that has reportedly claimed responsibility for the blazes.
Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis described the situation as a 'sustained campaign of violence and intimidation.' While no injuries have been reported, the attacks have targeted synagogues, Jewish charity ambulances, and Persian-language media outlets critical of Tehran.
