Two Jewish schools in north London have been vandalised with red paint in what has been called “a disgraceful attempt to intimidate and harass” the community.
Shomrim Stamford Hill said one school was targeted on Thursday and a second on Monday morning, as it tweeted CCTV footage of a masked figure spraying the paint on the outside of the buildings.
Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway, who leads policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, said: “We have had extra police patrols in the area since the attacks in Israel to provide reassurance. The vandalism comes amid heightened concerns over possible antisemitic crimes in the UK following the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7 and the subsequent military retaliation.Dave Rich, director of policy at the Community Security Trust , a charity that protects British Jews from antisemitism and related threats, told the PA news agency: “Two Jewish schools in Stamford Hill have been attacked with red paint in what appears to be a disgraceful attempt to intimidate and harass our community.
