"An attempted #arson attack has been reported at a north-west #London #synagogue, after a spate of similar incidents.

The incident at #Kenton United Synagogue in #Harrow on Saturday night caused minor smoke damage to an internal room but no injuries or significant structural damage, according to the #CommunitySecurityTrust, which monitors #antisemitism and provides protection for #Jewish communities in the #UK.

The building is close to a school and children’s playground.

Police were seen searching a black SUV nearby on Sunday morning. A large cordon was in place and a forensics officer, fire investigation dogs and several plainclothes officers were working at the scene."

"Reports of #antisemitism incidents in the #UK spiked after the deadly #Manchester #synagogue attack last year.

The volunteer-run #CommunitySecurityTrust (#CST), which provides security and monitors antisemitism in the UK, said 40 incidents were recorded on the day of the attack and 40 the day after - the highest daily totals of 2025.

Worshippers #MelvinCravitz and #AdrianDaulby were killed on 2 October when #JihadAlShamie drove into the gates of the #HeatonPark #Synagogue in Manchester and began attacking with a knife, while wearing a fake suicide belt.

The CST said more than half of the incidents it recorded across both days involved direct reactions to the attack, including celebrating it."
