Police in London are investigating what authorities have described as an “antisemitic hate crime” after several Jewish volunteer ambulances were set on fire.
Emergency services responded to reports of the blaze, which destroyed multiple vehicles belonging to a Jewish community response organisation. No injuries were reported, but the incident caused significant damage and disruption to the group’s operations.
Officials said the attack is being treated as deliberately targeted, with early assessments pointing to antisemitic motives. Community leaders condemned the act, describing it as a disturbing escalation of hostility against Jewish institutions.
Law enforcement authorities have launched an investigation to identify those responsible, while increasing patrols in the area to reassure residents. The incident has prompted renewed calls for vigilance and stronger measures to combat hate crimes across the city.
