Israel hostage ribbon-cutter was attacked by Mossad', claims her husband

"The husband of a woman seen cutting down yellow ribbons for Jewish hostages held captive in Gaza have claimed he and his wife have been attacked by a group of people probably working for Mossad. When confronted by horrified bystanders Ms Yahlom, a taxpayer-funded PhD student at the University of Westminster, declared that the bands were condoning genocide. She voluntarily attended a police station and was interviewed under caution."

"As a Jewish person I felt that pull to do something. It feels personal. These ribbons are to remember all the people who were kidnapped and those who are still there. There is a climate that it's acceptable, you can get away with it and even more than that, that people applaud it. People think [they] are on the side of the good, the side of the righteous by standing against Israel and the Jewish people. Frankly what she was doing was anti-Jewish, anti-Israel and anti-humanity."

A woman in Muswell Hill was filmed cutting down yellow ribbons meant to remember Israeli hostages held in Gaza. When confronted by bystanders Ms Yahlom, a taxpayer-funded PhD student at the University of Westminster, said the bands were condoning genocide. She voluntarily attended a police station and was interviewed under caution. Her husband, Mo'min Swaitat, removed Instagram posts and said they were attacked by an extremist group possibly working for Mossad. The family reported death threats and contacted the Metropolitan Police. Miranda Levy, who filmed the incident, urged concern for the kidnapped and criticised public applause for attacks on Jewish people. Scotland Yard attended the location and increased reassurance patrols while reviewing the circulating video.
