London synagogues firebombed

Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis has warned that the UK's Jewish community is facing a 'sustained campaign of violence and intimidation.' Authorities are exploring potential links to Iranian proxy groups after a shadowy Islamic organization claimed responsibility for multiple attacks.

The Metropolitan Police have deployed additional resources to Jewish neighborhoods following incidents involving synagogues and Jewish-owned businesses.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the acts as 'abhorrent' and vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
