The media reported the arrest of two people on suspicion of setting fire to a synagogue in London.

London police have arrested two suspects in an attempted arson attack on a synagogue in the north of the city. This was reported by the Reuters news agency on April 20.

The incident occurred in the Harrow area of northwest London, where the Kenton United synagogue was the target of the attack. This attack was the latest in a series of attacks on Jewish institutions recorded in London in recent weeks. This time, the police detained two young men, 17 and 19 years old.

"The fire caused minor smoke damage to the inner room, there were no casualties," the material says.

According to law enforcement agencies, anti-terrorist units are involved in the investigation, which are investigating a possible link between these incidents and the escalation of the Middle East conflict.
