00:18A shocking incident in London.
00:21Four ambulances set on fire in what police are calling a suspected antisemitic hate crime.
00:28This happened in the early hours of March 23 in Golders Green,
00:33a North London area known for its large Jewish community.
00:37And the target was not random.
00:40The vehicles belonged to Hutzola, a volunteer-run emergency medical service that operates 24-7,
00:47often supporting the UK's National Hunth Service.
00:51At around 1.40 a.m., four out of six ambulances were deliberately set on fire,
00:56parked near a synagogue.
00:58As the flames spread, oxygen cylinders inside the vehicles exploded,
01:04sending shockwaves through the area,
01:06breaking windows and forcing nearby residents to evacuate.
01:10The London Fire Brigade rushed in,
01:13deploying multiple engines and firefighters to bring the blaze under control.
01:17Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
01:19But the damage is significant.
01:22Four emergency vehicles destroyed in a service that relies on volunteers to save lives.
01:30CCTV footage now shows three masked suspects approaching the ambulances,
01:35setting them on fire and fleeing the scene.
01:37The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation and are treating the case as an antisemitic hate crime.
01:43Patrols have been increased, and officers are working closely with community leaders.
01:49Hutzola officials have called this a deliberate targeting of a life-saving service.
01:54And the impact goes beyond property damage.
01:57With most of its ambulances destroyed, emergency response in the area could be affected.
02:02The attack has sparked wider concerns about rising antisemitism in the UK
02:08and the safety of essential community services.
