An attack occurred outside a synagogue in Manchester, Britain, on Thursday. The incident, which took place during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, involved a vehicle being driven into a crowd followed by gunfire. This event has reignited concerns about the safety of the Jewish community in Britain. For several years, British Jewish citizens have reported feeling increasingly insecure, particularly after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. A recent survey conducted by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR) in June-July 2025 indicates a significant increase in the number of Jews who feel unsafe in Britain.
