Two men have been arrested in connection with the arson attacks on ambulances serving the Jewish community in north London.
This was reported by British police, citing DW.
According to police, officers from the counterterrorism unit arrested the men, aged 47 and 45, at separate addresses in London. Both remain in custody.
Police stated that the investigation into the incident is ongoing, noting that CCTV footage points to at least three suspects.
On Monday, shortly after midnight, four ambulances operated by Hatzola, a volunteer emergency medical service in Golders Green, were set on fire.
Gas cylinders exploded inside the vehicles, leading to the evacuation of people from nearby homes. Local residents reported that the explosions shattered windows, including those at a nearby synagogue.
As a result of the incident, four ambulances belonging to the Jewish volunteer organization Hatzola Northwest were destroyed.
A possible link between the incident and extremism is under investigation.
British authorities accuse Iran of using criminal intermediaries to carry out operations in Europe targeting dissidents and Jewish communities.
As a reminder, the Czech Republic has arrested two suspects in the arson of a drone factory.
Additionally, Czech authorities have assured that they are not leaking data to Moscow and do not support Putin.
Meanwhile, the European Commission is demanding explanations from Hungary regarding the possible leak of data to Russia.
