Arson attacks at London Jewish sites
A pro-Iranian group has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attacks, which they state are in retaliation for US-Israeli actions in the Middle East.
Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis has warned that British Jews are facing an unprecedented campaign of violence and intimidation.
Police have increased patrols around religious sites and are working to identify the individuals involved in the "thugs for hire" scheme.
The investigation is exploring potential links to Iranian intelligence and online extremist networks.
