Arson attacks on London synagogues

Arson attacks on London synagogues

A wave of anti-Jewish incidents has put London's Jewish community on high alert, with the Chief Rabbi describing a 'sustained campaign of violence and intimidation.' The Metropolitan Police are focusing on a shadowy Islamic group that has claimed responsibility for similar attacks across Europe.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has vowed to find the perpetrators and condemned the violence.

Security has been tightened at religious sites as investigators analyze forensic evidence from multiple crime scenes.
