Shadowy group Ashab al-Yamin has claimed responsibility for the 29 April stabbings in Golders Green, north London, which seriously injured two Jewish men, according to a statement in the group’s name shared on Telegram. UK police have declared this a terrorist incident. This marks a shift in Ashab al-Yamin's activity, as its previous attacks have been relatively minor and have mostly involved arson targeting Jewish buildings or vehicles, without causing harm to individuals. In a further escalation in its messaging, the group also incited deadly attacks against Jewish people. This brings the total number of attacks claimed in the group’s name to at least 17, including seven in London.
