The Community Security Trust (CST) has issued a security notice to the UK Jewish community in response to heightened tensions arising from the ongoing Middle East conflict, particularly following the recent killing of Hassan Nasrallah and the escalation with Iran and its proxy.

On Monday night Iran launched over 180 ballistic missiles at Israel, an act that was celebrated by the Islamic Republic and its supporters around the world.

As the High Holy Days and the anniversary of October 7 approach, the CST has emphasised the need for strict adherence to security protocols in communal buildings, citing an increased risk of antisemitic incidents and extremist demonstrations.

The organisation pointed out Hezbollah and Iran’s historical involvement in terrorist activities targeting Jewish communities worldwide.
