- On Tuesday, the Metropolitan Police announced seven new arrests for an alleged conspiracy to commit arson against Jewish sites in London, bringing total detentions since late March to 23.
- Since late March, authorities have investigated arson attacks targeting Jewish community ambulances in Golders Green and two synagogues, as well as a separate drone incident near the Israeli embassy.
