A 45-year-old man was arrested after two Jewish men, aged in their 70s and 30s, were seriously wounded in Golders Green, with counterterror police leading the investigation.
Shomrim members detained the suspect, who also attempted to attack officers. Both victims are hospitalized in stable condition, and authorities are examining the attacker's background and possible motives.
The attack follows a series of antisemitic incidents in Britain, including recent arson attacks on Jewish sites. Leaders have called for urgent action, describing the violence as a national emergency and epidemic.
