住在该地区的目击者马克·雷斯纳告诉天空新闻,他听到了巨大的爆炸声,”就在第三辆救护车爆炸时”赶到了现场。
“一声巨响,你能感觉到它穿透你的内脏,”他说,”这让我们所有人都感到困惑和震惊。”
在该地区开展社区巡逻的非营利组织肖姆林(Shomrim)谴责了这起袭击。该组织在X平台上发文称:”这不仅是一起纵火犯罪行为,更是针对为当地犹太社区服务的重要紧急服务机构的针对性袭击,令人深感关切。”
据致力于保护犹太社区的社区安全信托基金称,自2023年底以色列-哈马斯战争爆发以来,英国境内报告的反犹事件数量飙升。该组织记录到2025年有3700起反犹事件,较2022年的1662起大幅上升。
2025年10月,一名袭击者驾车冲向在曼彻斯特犹太会堂外庆祝犹太节日赎罪日的人群,刺死一人。另有一人在袭击中被警方误射身亡。

London —Police in London are investigating a suspected antisemitic hate crime after vehicles belonging to a Jewish ambulance service were set on fire early Monday morning.
Officers were called to Golders Green, a London neighborhood with a large Jewish population, after receiving reports of a fire.
Four ambulances belonging to Hatzola Northwest, a volunteer organization that provides emergency medical responses, were damaged, according to the London fire brigade.
Multiple cylinders on the vehicles exploded, causing windows to break in an adjacent block of flats, it said in a statement, adding that no injuries have been reported and the fire has been brought under control.
The cause of the fire is being investigated, authorities said.
“We know this incident will cause a great deal of community concern and officers remain on scene to carry out urgent enquiries,” Police Superintendent Sarah Jackson said.

She added that the police are looking for three suspects but no arrests have been made yet.
Police said reports of explosions were linked to gas canisters on the ambulances. Nearby homes were evacuated as a precautionary measure.
Mark Reisner, an eyewitness who lives in the neighborhood, heard loud explosions and arrived at the scene “just as the third ambulance was blowing up,” he told Sky News.
“A very loud explosion, you sort of felt it go through your guts,” he said, adding, “it’s just left us all reeling with confusion and shock.”
Shomrim, a nonprofit organization which operates a neighborhood watch in the area, condemned the attack. “This was not only a criminal act of arson, but a targeted and deeply concerning incident affecting a vital emergency service serving the local Jewish community,” it said in a post on X.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the incident, calling it a “deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack,” adding that “antisemitism has no place in our society,” according to the Reuters news service.
The number of antisemitic incidents reported across the U.K. has soared since the start of the Israel-Hamas War in late 2023, according to the Community Security Trust, which works to protect the Jewish community. The group recorded 3,700 in 2025, up from 1,662 in 2022.
In October 2025, an attacker drove his car into people gathered outside a Manchester synagogue to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur and stabbed one person to death. Another person died during the attack after being inadvertently shot by police.
