LONDON (AP) — Four ambulances belonging to a Jewish charity were set on fire early Monday morning in London in what British police are investigating as an antisemitic hate crime.

Though it has not been classified as a terrorist incident, counterterror officers have been put in charge of the investigation. No one was injured in the nighttime attack, which shattered windows in nearby homes and left the vehicles charred shells.

Religious and political leaders condemned what Prime Minister Keir Starmer called a “horrific” antisemitic attack.

“Antisemitism has no place in our society and it’s really important that we all stand together at a moment like this,” said Starmer, who met Jewish community leaders at 10 Downing St. on Monday to discuss the response to the attack.
