Four Jewish ambulances in North London's Golders Green Neighborhood were set on fire Monday

9th.

The vehicles belong to Hatsola, a volunteer group that provides emergency medical help

to the Jewish community.

An Iran-linked militant group called the Islamic movement of the people of the right hand

has claimed responsibility online, according to intelligence.

Oxygen cylinders inside the ambulances exploded during the blaze, shattering windows in nearby

buildings, and forcing some evacuations.

Firefighters quickly put out the flames, and luckily no one was hurt.

Security footage shows three hooded figures in black approaching, with a canister, before

the fire started.

Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer described the attack as a deeply shocking act of anti-symmetism.

Police aren't calling it terrorism yet, but counter-terrorism experts are now leading

the probe.

They're checking the all-mind claims of validity and hunting for those three suspects, with

no arrests so far.

This same group has taken credit for past attacks on synagogues in Belgium and the Netherlands.

British officials and spy agencies have raised alarms about Iran, back threats to Jewish

sites, though Tehran denies any role.

As the investigation continues, community leaders and the Israeli embassy are urging

stronger action against rising hate and intimidation in the area.
