"Vicki Evans, deputy assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, stated that most of the attacks have been claimed by the Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia group, which has also targeted places of worship and financial institutions in Europe."
"Evans noted that police are considering whether the tactic of recruiting violence as a service, often used by Iran, is being employed in London."
"The recent arson incidents include a bottle containing accelerant thrown inside the Finchley Reform Synagogue and Jewish-owned Hatzola ambulances set ablaze in Golders Green."
"The UK's chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, condemned the Kenton fire as the third cowardly attack on Jewish sites, highlighting the ongoing threat to the community."
The Kenton United Synagogue in London experienced an arson attack causing minor damage, prompting investigations by the Metropolitan Police. Counter Terrorism Policing is examining potential links to Iranian proxies, particularly the Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia group, which has claimed responsibility for multiple attacks on Jewish sites in Europe. No injuries were reported in the recent incidents, which include attacks on other synagogues and Jewish-owned properties. The UK's chief rabbi condemned the attacks as cowardly acts against the Jewish community.
