Arson Attacks on London Synagogues

Arson Attacks on London Synagogues

The attack at Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow occurred shortly after midnight on Sunday, causing minor smoke damage to the building.

A 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man are currently in custody as part of a broader probe into a series of recent threats against Jewish targets.

The Community Security Trust has warned of a rise in antisemitic incidents across the capital.

Authorities are exploring whether 'thugs for hire' are being paid by foreign actors to carry out these crimes.
