Attacks Against Jewish Institutions in Europe
According to a report by TravelPulse, the security alert issued by the US Embassy in London comes after a series of attacks in Europe that have targeted Jewish institutions.
On March 23, an arson strike on ambulances that are tied to a Jewish charity took place in London. A little over two weeks later, there was an incident in a synagogue in the Kenton area.
An explosion likewise took place at a Jewish school in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Per TravelPulse, no one was hurt due to the attack.
Officials have since called the explosion a "targeted attack against the Jewish community."
