Arson attacks on London synagogues

A wave of anti-Semitic incidents has put London's Jewish community on high alert after four arson attacks were reported in less than a month.

The Metropolitan Police have deployed drones and increased patrols around religious sites as investigators probe potential links to foreign state actors.

Deputy Commissioner Matt Jukes warned that 'thugs for hire' are being paid small sums to carry out these acts of intimidation.

Jewish leaders have expressed grave concern over the escalating violence, which they describe as a modern hybrid war fought by proxies on UK soil.
