UK Arrests in Arson Plot Targeting Jewish Site

0:00On April 21, British counterterrorism police just nabbed eight people in a probe over suspected arson attacks in London, including a plot aimed at a spot tied to the Jewish community.

This hits amid a spike in threats and crimes against Jewish sites in the UK Capitol, kicking off after the Israel Gaza war started back in October.

Twenty-three suspects since an attack on a Jewish charity's ambulance last month.
