CCTV footage shows four ambulances belonging to Jewish volunteer EMT services in Golders Green, London, being set ablaze on the night of March 22, 2026. The London Metropolitan Police have launched a counter-terrorism investigation into the incident, which has raised concerns over a possible antisemitic attack. Authorities are actively seeking those responsible, describing the perpetrators as “on the loose” and warning the public to remain vigilant.

A group calling itself Ashab al-Yamin has claimed responsibility for the arsons. The organization, reportedly emerging in early March 2026, has purported ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and issued statements in Arabic with non-native phrasing. While the claim of responsibility has circulated online, experts and some observers have expressed skepticism about the group’s authenticity, citing the possibility of false flag operations or attempts to sow confusion and fear.

The attacks have drawn concern from London’s Jewish community, which operates the volunteer Hatzola ambulance service across the city. Hatzola personnel emphasized that the targeted vehicles were vital for emergency response and noted the chilling effect on volunteers who continue to provide medical aid. The arsons underscore the ongoing risk posed by extremist groups targeting religious and community organizations in urban areas.

UK security officials are investigating whether Ashab al-Yamin represents an organized IRGC-linked network or is a symbolic entity attempting to intimidate local communities. Counter-terrorism sources indicate they are examining online communications, regional extremist networks, and potential foreign support channels. The incident adds to a growing pattern of antisemitic attacks and has prompted calls for increased protection of Jewish communal facilities.
