UK authorities investigate arson attack at former London synagogue amid rising antisemitic violence
British counterterrorism police are investigating a deliberately set arson attack at a former synagogue in Tower Hamlets, London, with no injuries reported but minor structural damage confirmed. The incident occurs as the UK raised its national threat level to 'severe' last week and follows a documented wave of violent attacks targeting Jewish communities, prompting the Prime Minister to convene an emergency meeting on antisemitism.
