Britain's Jewish community will not be "cowed" or "intimidated" following an overnight arson attack in London, the Chief Rabbi has declared. Sir Ephraim Mirvis stated that while the incident had left people "shocked and saddened," the community would continue "standing tall" and living as "proud British citizens."

The attack targeted four ambulances belonging to Hatzola, the Jewish community ambulance service, in Golders Green, north-west London, during the early hours of Monday. No injuries have been reported.
