Police are searching for three suspects after four ambulances were deliberately set on fire in an incident characterized as an anti-Semitic hate crime. The counter-terrorism police are leading the investigation into the arson attack that occurred in the Golders Green neighborhood of London. Although not classified as a terrorist act, the authorities are treating it seriously and exploring all possible leads.
A group claiming responsibility for the attack has surfaced online, but the authenticity of their claim is yet to be verified. CCTV footage reveals three individuals strategically placing rags on the ambulances before setting them ablaze.

The Prime Minister emphasized the abhorrence of targeting ambulances and the impact on the Jewish community, urging unity against anti-Semitism. The attack has sparked concerns and heightened security measures in the area, with a focus on supporting and reassuring the affected community.
The investigation is ongoing, with forensic teams examining the scene and authorities appealing for information from the public. The police have assured a thorough inquiry to bring the perpetrators to justice and prevent further incidents. The Jewish community remains resilient, but calls for sustained efforts to combat hatred and ensure safety for all.
