The UK’s Daily Telegraph reports that a terror attack was carried out in Britain by an asylum seeker claiming he wanted to avenge Gaza.
The paper claims that details of the attack are being withheld from the public for security reasons.
The paper says the man was arrested and told police that he had done it “for Palestine.”
The report quotes Iain Duncan Smith, the former leader of the Conservative Party, as saying that the public has a right to know about threats.
“I think the public does have a right to know that something has happened. If they are worried about reaction, people need to know whether their streets are safe,” he tells the paper.
The report notes the mass anti-Israel protests held in London last week and similar ones being planned for today.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
