| [IsraelTimes] A local official says that the arson attack on ambulances belonging to a Jewish organization and parked at a synagogue in Golders Green, is “utterly shocking, terrifying,” and says that authorities are not taking enough action against growing antisemitism. “The targeting of life-saving vehicles stationed the the car park of a synagogue is particularly chilling and will send shockwaves through our community at a time of already heightened fears over antisemitism in the UK,” local Golders Green councillor Dean Cohen tells the Jewish News. “It’s beyond time for the authorities to wake and and do more to tackle this hate running riot,” he says. The ambulances belonged to the Hatzola volunteer organization that responds to medical emergencies. CCTV footage showed three hooded individuals pouring gasoline on the vehicles and setting them on fire. The ambulances were parked at the Machzike Hadath synagogue in Golders Green, a London neighborhood with a large Jewish community. The Fire Service said the blaze ignited oxygen tanks on board the ambulances, causing them to explode and smash windows in nearby residential buildings.
