Emergency services were called to Golders Green, a London suburb with a large Jewish population, on Monday night, where they found four ambulances belonging to a Jewish volunteer organization in flames.

The suspected arson is being investigated as an anti-Semitic hate crime, London police said, according to Sky News. No one was injured and no perpetrator has yet been arrested.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the act.

"An attack on our Jewish community is an attack on us all. We will fight the poison of anti-Semitism," he wrote on X.

The Israeli embassy in the UK said on X that "anti-Semitism is rampant on the streets of London."
