英国反恐警方正在调查伦敦一栋建筑遭遇的纵火袭击事件，该建筑此前曾被一家犹太慈善机构使用。近期当地已发生多起类似事件。
英国伦敦警察局在一份声明中表示，火灾于周五晚间发生在伦敦北部的亨登社区。警方于周五晚间10点30分后不久接到报警，当时有人看到一名男子提着一个塑料袋走向一排商铺。据警方透露，该男子将塑料袋放在一栋建筑旁，随后点燃了袋内物品。
警方称，事后查明塑料袋内装有三个装有“液体”的瓶子。由于瓶子未能完全引燃，该男子逃离了现场。
无人在此次事件中受伤。现场照片显示，建筑窗户上仍留有教育机构“犹太未来”（Jewish Futures）的标识。为犹太群体提供安全咨询的慈善机构社区安全信托（Community Security Trust）表示，此次火灾“对附近一处门口造成了轻微损坏”。

“我们注意到又一起疑似纵火未遂事件，此次目标是北伦敦一处此前曾被犹太社区使用的场所，”社区安全信托慈善机构表示。
警方表示，该区域将加强执法力量部署。
此次袭击与近期该地区发生的多起事件手法相似。周三，两名男子因另一起针对北伦敦一座犹太会堂的纵火袭击事件被捕。
3月下旬，伦敦北部戈尔德斯格林地区的四辆犹太社区救护车被纵火烧毁。来自东伦敦的20岁男子哈姆扎·伊克巴尔、19岁男子雷汉·汗，以及一名因年龄原因无法公开姓名的英巴双重国籍17岁少年，均因与该事件相关的纵火罪被起诉并拘留。

伦敦警察局反恐部门成员海伦·弗拉纳根在一份声明中表示，此次亨登袭击事件“目前与伦敦西北部的其他事件并无关联”，但由于各起袭击存在相似性，反恐部门将牵头负责此次调查。
周三晚间，一枚燃烧物被扔向强烈批评伊朗神职人员政权的波斯语媒体机构伊朗国际电视台的办公场所，燃烧物落在停车场内，未造成人员伤亡。
据情报机构SITE情报集团消息，一个与伊朗有关联、鲜为人知的组织“哈拉克特·阿沙卜·亚明·伊斯兰米亚”（Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya）宣称对此次袭击以及针对犹太会堂和救护车的袭击负责。
该组织此前曾宣称在比利时和荷兰实施过类似袭击。
社区安全信托记录显示，2025年英国境内共有3700起反犹太主义事件，为该机构有记录以来第二高的年度数据。
U.K. police investigate arson attack on building formerly housing Jewish charity

U.K. counterterrorism police are investigating an arson attack on a London building that was formerly used by a Jewish charity following a spate of similar incidents in recent weeks.
The fire occurred late Friday in London’s northern Hendon neighborhood, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement. Police were called to the scene shortly after 10:30 p.m. Friday, when a man was spotted approaching a row of shops carrying a plastic bag. He placed the bag by a building before lighting the items inside, according to police.
The bag was later found to have three bottles containing “fluid,” police said. When the bottles failed to fully ignite, the man fled the scene, according to police.
No one was injured. Photos show a sign for the education organization Jewish Futures still visible in the building’s window. The Community Security Trust, a charity that provides safety advice to Jewish groups, said the fire “caused minimal damage to a nearby doorway.”

“We are aware of what appears to be another attempted arson, this time targeting a premises in north London previously used by the Jewish community,” the Community Security Trust charity.
Police said the community can expect to see a heightened law enforcement presence in the area.
The attack mirrored recent incidents in the same area. Two people were arrested on Wednesday over a separate arson attack on a North London synagogue.
In late March, four Jewish community ambulances were torched in Golders Green, also in north London. Hamza Iqbal, 20, and Rehan Khan, 19, and a 17-year-old of dual British-Pakistani nationality who cannot be named because of his age, all from east London, were charged with arson and taken into custody in connection with that incident.

Helen Flanagan, a member of the Metropolitan Police’s counterterrorism unit, said in a statement that the Hendon attack is “not being linked to other incidents in north-west London,” but said that the unit is leading the investigation “due to the similarities of each attack.”
On Wednesday evening, a burning object was thrown towards the offices of Persian media outlet Iran International, which is heavily critical of Iran’s clerical leadership. It landed in a car park and no one was injured.
Little-known group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya, with links to Iran, claimed responsibility for that and the attacks on the synagogue and ambulances, according to SITE Intelligence Group.
The group previously claimed similar attacks in Belgium and the Netherlands.
The Community Security Trust has recorded 3,700 antisemitic incidents in the United Kingdom in 2025, the second-highest total ever reported to the organization.
