Two men were killed in an attack on a synagogue in Manchester, England, during Yom Kippur. The assailant, Jihad Al-Shamie, was shot dead by police after ramming a car into pedestrians and attempting to enter the synagogue. Six individuals have been arrested on suspicion of terror offenses. The attack has heightened concerns about rising antisemitism in the UK, with debates surrounding criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrations fueling the discussion. Authorities are investigating whether the attacker acted alone.
