British authorities are investigating whether a series of recent arson attacks on Jewish sites in London are linked to what they described as “Iranian proxies.” A 17- and 19-year-old were arrested in connection to an arson attack on a synagogue in northwest London over the weekend. A Persian-language media company was also reportedly attacked in recent days. No one has been injured. This is Rabbi Yehuda Black of the Kenton United Synagogue.

Rabbi Yehuda Black: “As far as I’m aware, at 11:30 last night, my synagogue, Kenton United Synagogue, was fire bombed. They threw into the medical room a fire bomb. There was smoke everywhere. I’m glad to say that the synagogue was not burned down. It’s a beautiful synagogue. It’s a gem of a synagogue. But at the end of the day, I don’t think that they’ve succeeded in what they wanted to do in that respect.”
