London – Police are investigating after Jewish families leaving synagogue yesterday were ‘targeted’ by pro-Palestinian protesters.
Footage shared on Twitter on Saturday night showed men holding green flares, waving Palestine flags and shouting from cars outside the place of worship on Abbey Road in St John’s Wood, north London.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism confirmed it was ‘aware’ of Jewish families ‘being targeted on their way out of synagogue’ and had ‘received multiple reports of police having to escort congregants away in groups for their own safety’.
The Met said it had identified the cars involved and was working to locate the suspects.
In a media briefing on Friday it had warned of the likelihood of convoys of cars going through Jewish areas and showing antisemitic abuse.
