Four men plead guilty to arson attack on Jewish ambulances in London

  • On Friday, Hamza Iqbal, Rehan Khan, Judex Atshatshi, and Saif Ali appeared at London's Old Bailey court, pleading guilty to arson for torching four ambulances belonging to Hatzola earlier this year.
  • The attack occurred on March 23 near a synagogue, and the pro-Iranian group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya claimed responsibility, though the incident was not officially treated as terrorism.
  • Prosecutors said the arson caused $1.36 million in damage, and Prosecutor Emma Harraway stated, "There is significant evidence that this was a premeditated and targeted attack against the Jewish community."
  • Following their pleas, the four men—Iqbal, Khan, Atshatshi, and Ali—were remanded into custody ahead of sentencing.
  • This incident was the first of several arson attacks targeting London's Jewish community earlier this year, and police continue to investigate potential Iranian links to the broader wave.
