Police are increasing security around synagogues in London ahead of Hanukkah following a deadly shooting at Bondi Beach, Australia, where twelve were killed and nearly thirty injured during a Jewish festival event. The Met Police is enhancing patrols and collaborating with the Community Security Trust to ensure safety amid heightened concerns within the Jewish community. The attack, which included the death of Rabbi Eli Schlanger, has drawn condolences and calls for resilience from leaders like Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis and Sir Keir Starmer. This incident occurs against a backdrop of rising antisemitism and violence during Jewish holidays.
