The Community Security Trust has advised Jewish organisations to maintain strict security measures amid “extremely high tensions” following the assasination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
The charity, which protects communal buildings in Britain, said that while the request was not based upon any specific intelligence or advance warnings, “there is a long history of anti-Jewish terrorism around the world.”
The CST added: "CST hopes and expects that communal locations, organisations etc. will have been following security procedures since the Hamas terrorist attacks of 7 October, the subsequent war in the Middle East and the rise in antisemitism here in Britain.
“This notice from CST is a strong reminder that security procedures must continue, especially given the extremely high tensions between Iran and Israel. The latest developments mean it is essential that security procedures are fully implemented.”
