London Police Establish New Unit to Protect Jewish Community

London police have created a specialized protection unit for the Jewish community consisting of approximately 100 officers. The Metropolitan Police announced the formation of the Community Protection Unit following a surge in antisemitic crimes and a series of arson attacks targeting Jewish facilities. Police reported arresting more than 80 people over the past four weeks in connection with antisemitic criminal activities and arson incidents. The new unit represents a significant expansion of security measures aimed at safeguarding London's Jewish community amid rising tensions and hate crimes.
