An arson attempt targeted a London synagogue, while an Iran-linked group separately claimed responsibility for an attack on a Jewish-associated building. No injuries were reported in either incident. UK Chief Rabbi Mirvis condemned what he described as a 'sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community,' and officials urged British Jews to remain alert.
