On April 19, counter-terror cops are spearheading investigations into a wave of arson and attempted arson hits in northwest London, zeroing in on, spots tied to the Jewish community, and folks opposing Iran's regime. These attacks kicked off with four Hatsola ambulances, torched in Golders Green on March 23, each worth 250,000 pounds, and run by Jewish volunteers, then came Petroboms, chucked at Finchley Reform Synagogue on April 15th, a fire set outside a former Jewish charity spot in Hinden on April 17th, and a bottle accelerant hurled into Kenton United Synagogue on April 19th. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called the spree abhorrent and antisemitic, stressing that assaults on the Jewish community strike at Britain's core. The United Synagogue President labeled it an epidemic of anti-Jewish hate, while groups like campaign against antisemitism say it's turning terrifying. With daily threats, arrests are piling up, four charged over the ambulances, a 46-year-old

man and 47-year-old woman bailed after the Finchley attempt, and three, including a 16-year-old boy facing arson charges for targeting violent media, the outfit behind Iran International's critical coverage. Police are probing Iranian proxy links, with no major injuries so far, but rising fear in the community. Los Bows' zero tolerance as they hunt the culprits to keep everyone safe.
