🔥 Arson Attack on Synagogue in North London 🔥
In a worrying series of events, a synagogue in Harrow faced an arson attack amidst investigations into potential Iranian-linked networks. Police discovered the damage to a window at Kenton United Synagogue during late-night patrols last Sunday.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans from the Metropolitan Police stated that Jewish sites across London have been targeted in similar attacks. Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, a group claiming online to be responsible, has been linked to further attacks in Europe.
🎥 Caught on Camera: Alarming footage apparently from the group shows someone hurling a burning object at the synagogue, branding it “a centre of Zionist influence.” Police are following leads on whether these incidents are coordinated by Iranian proxies.
PM Sir Keir Starmer expressed his disgust on social media, declaring any attack on the Jewish community as an attack on Britain itself. Meanwhile, Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis called it a “cowardly arson attack,” condemning the rising wave of antisemitic acts threatening Jewish life in the UK.
Local authorities are on high alert, and investigations are ongoing. The community stands strong, continuing their gatherings with resilience. 🙏✊
