Hatzola Ambulances Set Ablaze in London, Iran Link Probed

Four ambulances belonging to the Jewish charity Hatzola were deliberately set on fire in Golders Green, London, in the early hours of Monday. The attack, which involved gas canisters, is being investigated as a potential act of terrorism linked to an Iranian state-backed group. The Metropolitan Police chief has cautioned against jumping to conclusions, but they are pursuing all leads. The incident is being treated as an antisemitic hate crime, with three suspects believed to be involved. The attack occurred in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, home to numerous synagogues and served by Hatzolas volunteer medics since 1979. Police are examining an online claim of responsibility from an Islamist group with potential Iranian ties, which has taken credit for other European attacks. In response, London police have deployed an additional 264 officers and increased armed patrols to protect the Jewish community. Investigators are exploring all angles to identify the perpetrators and prevent further threats.
