UK Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis expressed grave concern over a 'sustained campaign of violence and intimidation' against the Jewish community following an attempted arson at Kenton United Synagogue in northwest London. The incident, which occurred on Saturday night, caused minor damage but no injuries. Mirvis emphasized the urgency of addressing this threat to society. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attacks, promising that those responsible would be found and brought to justice. In response to a series of recent incidents targeting Jewish sites, police have stepped up security in the area, deploying additional uniformed and plainclothes officers. The Metropolitan Police are treating the synagogue attack as part of a wider pattern of violence, including an earlier attempt to set fire to bottles outside a Jewish charity's former offices. Several suspects have been arrested, and counterterrorism officers are investigating due to claims of responsibility linked to the group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, which has also been implicated in attacks across Europe. The UK government has accused Iran of utilizing criminal proxies for these attacks, with intelligence agency MI5 reporting the disruption of over 20 Iran-linked plots in the past year.
