A burnt car is seen in Golders Green, London, Monday, March 23, 2026 after an apparent arson attack on four vehicles belonging to a Jewish ambulance service, Hatzola Northwest, in London.
Police in London are investigating a suspected antisemitic hate crime attack after four vehicles belonging to a Jewish ambulance service were set on fire. Though it has not been classified as a terrorist incident, counterterror officers have been put in charge of the investigation. Detectives are working to determine whether a claim of responsibility from a group with alleged links to Iran is authentic. The London Fire Brigade says ambulances belonging to Hatzola Northwest, a volunteer organization that provides emergency medical response, were damaged by the fire early Monday morning. Multiple oxygen cylinders on the vehicles exploded, causing windows to break in an adjacent apartment block. No one was injured.
