Four plead guilty to arson attack on Jewish community ambulances

Four men have pleaded guilty to setting fire to four Jewish community ambulances operated by the charity Hatzola in north-west London, causing £1 million in damages. The attack occurred on 23 March and involved three men igniting the fully stocked ambulances while a fourth waited nearby. Gas canisters exploded during the fires, damaging additional infrastructure. Prosecutors argue the act was linked to terrorism, but the judge ruled that the terrorism connection will be addressed after the sentencing of a fifth defendant still on trial. Hatzola, a volunteer-run organization serving a predominantly Jewish community, described the attack as an antisemitic act. British intelligence initially considered Iran or its proxies as potential perpetrators but later confirmed this suspicion.
