Authorities report a surge in antisemitic incidents in London, including stabbings, arson at Jewish sites and harassment videotaped for social media. Police have expanded protection with a new community protection team and heightened investigations into possible Iran-linked involvement.
A video shows individuals making antisemitic threats on Whitechapel Road, Tower Hamlets, near a mosque. Met officers have attended and are pursuing inquiries. The incident follows a spike in antisemitic activity and the Met has deployed additional officers to protect Jewish communities.
