Arson Attacks on London Jewish Sites

Arson Attacks on London Jewish Sites

The Metropolitan Police have significantly expanded their investigation into a wave of violence targeting London's Jewish community and an Iran-critical media outlet.

A total of 23 arrests have now been made following attacks on Hatzola ambulances and a synagogue in north-west London.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged an 'unrelenting' fight against anti-Semitism as security is tightened around sensitive sites.

Officials are particularly concerned about an alleged plot targeting a specific venue, which was foiled by proactive police work over the last 48 hours.
