British police have arrested two individuals, a 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man, following an attempted arson attack on the Kenton United Synagogue in north London early on Sunday morning. The attack resulted in minor smoke damage to an internal room, with no injuries reported. This incident is part of a disturbing pattern of anti-Semitic attacks in London, which have escalated since the October 2023 Hamas assault on Israel. In recent weeks, there have been multiple arson attempts targeting Jewish sites, including a business linked to the Jewish community and ambulances belonging to the Jewish volunteer emergency service, Hatzola. Authorities are investigating possible connections to Iranian-backed groups, as British security officials have previously indicated that Iran may be using criminal proxies to conduct hostile activities in the UK. The rise in attacks on Jewish individuals and institutions has raised significant concerns among community groups and law enforcement.
