An attack has taken place in a synagogue in North London, and the police are on the hunt for two suspects believed to be behind the incident.

The attack took place shortly after midnight at a Reform synagogue in the Finchley area, when two people dressed in dark clothing and wearing face masks approached the building and threw two bottles believed to contain gas, along with a brick. Miraculously, neither of the bottles ignited, preventing what could have been a devastating tragedy. No major injuries or structural damage were reported either.

British police confirmed that the incident is being treated as an antisemitic hate crime and that counterterrorism units are now involved in the investigation due to its seriousness. The police are appealing to the public for any information, including CCTV or dashcam footage that could help identify those responsible.

Community leaders have condemned the attack, warning that it is part of a recent horrendous chain of attacks, which are an attempt to intimidate Jewish residents and disrupt normal life. The community emphasized that it will not be intimidated and will continue normal activities with increased security.
