LONDON — A little-known group believed to be linked to Iran claimed one of its “lone wolves” stabbed two Jewish men in a north London terror attack today, the SITE Intelligence Group reports.

“Zionists were targeted by our lone wolves in the Golders Green area of London,” Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), meaning The Islamic Movement of the People of the Right Hand, says in a claim posted online, according to SITE.

HAYI has claimed responsibility for a spate of attacks on Jewish-linked targets across Europe in the last two months, including several in the British capital prior to today’s stabbing, which police have declared a “terrorist incident.”
