London synagogues hit by arson

The Jewish community in London is on high alert after a series of targeted arson attempts at synagogues in Harrow and Hendon.

Police are treating the latest attack at Kenton United Synagogue as an antisemitic hate crime, with investigators reviewing CCTV of a suspect carrying flammable liquids.

Community security groups have urged residents to remain vigilant but calm as patrols are increased across the city.

The attacks come amid heightened global tensions and a rise in reported hate crimes across the United Kingdom.
