CST tells Jewish organisations to ‘fully implement’ security

The Community Security Trust (CST) has told Jewish communal organisations that they need to ensure that “security measures are fully implemented”.

Writing on X/Twitter soon after missiles and drones were launched from Iran into Israel on Saturday night, the charity said: “CST has tonight sent a notice to all communal organisations, requesting that security measures are fully implemented. This is a necessary precaution because of the situation between Iran and Israel.”

They emphasised that the directive was “not due to any specific information or warning here in the UK”.

CST, together with the police, have had a strong presence at Jewish events and solidarity rallies with Israel and the hostages since October 7. In an additional Tweet posted on Saturday night, CST wrote:  “CST has worked tirelessly with our community, police and government since the war began on 7 October, doing everything we can together to support and enable UK Jewish life. This will continue for as long as it is needed.”
