Four ambulances of the Jewish volunteer charity Hatzola were set on fire in a suspected antisemitic hate crime with potential Iran-linked militant group claiming responsibility.
- On Monday, three hooded suspects set fire to four Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green, London, destroying the vehicles after gas canisters exploded. Police are investigating the attack as an antisemitic hate crime.
- A newly surfaced group calling itself Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia claimed responsibility online within hours. Police are investigating potential Iranian state links but stated it is 'too early' to attribute the attack to Iran.
