Head of Met police reveals next steps in Golders Green attack probe

• Four Jewish community ambulances were destroyed in an arson attack in Golders Green in the early hours of Monday morning.
• The Metropolitan Police are treating the incident as an antisemitic hate crime, not terrorism, and are investigating an online claim of responsibility by an Islamist group with potential Iranian state links.
• CCTV footage shows three individuals pouring accelerant on the Hatzola vehicles before setting them alight, causing gas canisters to explode and nearby windows to shatter.
• Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley highlighted the "rapid growth in recent years of Iranian state threats" and the increasing targeting of Britain's Jewish community.
• The government has pledged to fund replacement ambulances, while community leaders, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, condemned the attack and called for unity.
