Arson Attacks Target Jewish Sites
The latest attack occurred at Kenton United Synagogue, where a firebomb caused minor damage overnight.
This incident is the third in a string of attacks that have targeted synagogues, Jewish charity ambulances, and Persian-language media outlets critical of Tehran.
Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis has warned that the campaign of intimidation is gathering momentum across the UK. Police are currently assessing whether foreign state actors are hiring 'thugs for hire' to carry out these crimes on British soil.
