"Four Hatzola ambulances were set ablaze in Golders Green, London, in the early hours of Monday, leading to several explosions caused by gas canisters onboard the vehicles."
"Sir Mark Rowley said the 'rapid growth' of Iranian state threats in recent years was grave but that it was still 'too early' to attribute the attack to Tehran."
"Police believe three suspects were involved in the attack, which is being treated as an antisemitic hate crime, not a terror incident."
"Sir Mark also outlined additional security measures being put in place, which include 264 extra police officers being deployed to protect the Jewish community in London."
