英国官员周日表示，一夜之间伦敦北部一座犹太会堂遭遇纵火袭击并造成烟雾损坏，这是该市一天内发生的第二起类似事件，也是本周内第三起此类案件。
据为犹太团体提供安全咨询的社区安全信托组织消息，伦敦哈罗区肯顿联合犹太会堂的一个房间遭受了轻微烟雾损坏，目前尚无人员伤亡报告。
伦敦大都会警察局表示，警方在周六夜间发现该建筑窗户受损。周日上午的照片显示，法医人员和其他执法人员正在被封锁的现场进行勘查。
警方在一份声明中称：“经过进一步检查，他们发现房间内有烟雾，并有证据表明一个装有某种助燃剂的瓶子被从窗户扔入。”
英国首席拉比埃弗拉伊姆·米尔维斯在社交媒体上写道，近期的袭击表明“针对英国犹太社区的持续暴力和恐吓行动正在愈演愈烈”。
“感谢上帝，目前尚无人员丧生，但我们不能、也绝不能等到出现人员伤亡后才意识到，这一时刻对我们整个社会而言有多危险，”米尔维斯写道。
英国首相基尔·斯塔默表示，他对近期的袭击事件感到“震惊”。
“这令人发指，绝不能被容忍。袭击我们的犹太社区就是袭击英国，”斯塔默在X平台的帖子中说道。“我们将不遗余力地追捕肇事者。”
反恐警方调查系列袭击事件
伦敦大都会警察局的反恐人员正在调查过去一个月来英国首都多起针对犹太场所的纵火或未遂纵火袭击案件。警方已在犹太人口密集区域加强了巡逻。
周五晚些时候，伦敦北部哈罗附近的亨登地区一座曾为犹太慈善机构所用的建筑成为袭击目标，同样没有人员伤亡报告。
周三，警方逮捕了两名涉嫌在附近芬奇利地区一所犹太会堂实施纵火袭击的人员。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。据情报机构SITE情报集团消息，一个与伊朗有关联的鲜为人知的组织“哈拉克特·阿沙卜·阿尔-亚明·伊斯兰米亚”已宣称对多起袭击负责。该组织此前曾宣称在比利时和荷兰发动过类似袭击。
社区安全信托组织记录显示，2025年英国境内共有3700起反犹事件，为该组织有记录以来第二高的年度数据。

An arson attack caused smoke damage at a synagogue in North London overnight, just one day after a similar incident in the city and the third such occurence this week, British officials said Sunday.
The fire caused minor smoke damage to a room at Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow, London, according to the Community Security Trust, which provids safety advice to Jewish groups. No injuries were reported.
The Metropolitan Police said its officers noticed damage to the window of the building on Saturday night. Photos from Sunday morning show forensic officers and other law enforcement inspecting the cordoned-off scen.
“On further inspection they saw smoke inside a room and evidence that a bottle with some sort of accelerant had been thrown through the window,” the department said in a statement.

British chief rabbi Ephraim Mirvis wrote on social media that the recent attacks show that a “sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community in the UK is gathering momentum.”
“Thank God, no lives have been lost, but we cannot, and must not, wait for that to change before we understand just how dangerous this moment is for all of our society,” Mirvis wrote.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was “appalled” by the recent attcks.
“This is abhorrent and it will not be tolerated. Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain,” Starmer said in a post on X. “We will not rest in the pursuit of perpetrators.”
Counterterrorism police investigate spate of attacks
Counterterrorism officers from London’s Metropolitan Police are investigating multiple arson or attempted arson attacks against Jewish properties in Britain’s capital in the past month. Officers have stepped up patrols in areas with large Jewish populations.
Late Friday, a building that formerly housed a Jewish charity was targeted in Hendon, a neighborhood in north London near Harrow. There were no injuries reported.

On Wednesday, police arrested two people over an arson attack on a synagogue in nearby Finchley. In late March, four Jewish community ambulances were torched in Golders Green, also in north London. A little-known group, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya, with links to Iran, has claimed responsibility for many of the attacks, 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.
