Four men have pleaded guilty to setting fire to four Jewish community ambulances in a north London arson attack, allegedly in retaliation for the start of the Iran war. The sentencing will occur in spring 2027 after another man's trial connected to the incident. The defendants, Hamza Iqbal, Rehan Khan, Judex Atshatshi, and Saif Ali, all aged 18-19, faced charges of property destruction and recklessness endangering life.
The four Jewish-owned ambulances, valued at approximately £250,000 each, were completely destroyed by the fire, which also caused explosions of gas canisters and damage to nearby properties and a synagogue. The prosecutor suggested a possible terrorist connection, though the court did not explicitly mention potential Iranian proxies involved in the attack.
Counterterrorism police investigated the possibility of Iranian proxies' involvement in other Jewish site attacks in London.
