Arson attacks on Jewish targets may be linked to group recruiting teens on Snapchat: Proxies for Iran or Hezbollah could be behind wave of fire bombings and foiled plots in London and across Europe
Arson attacks on Jewish targets may be linked to group recruiting teens on Snapchat: Proxies for Iran or Hezbollah could be behind wave of fire bombings and foiled plots in London and across Europe
There has been a waive of arson attacks on Jewish targets in the UK and rest of Europe recently, with 5 attacks in the UK since March. These attacks have largely involving improvised fire bombs and been claimed by a previously unknown group calling itself Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (Hayi). However in each case the people arrested tend to be young people (including under 18’s) who previously didn’t seem to belong to a terror group. Instead it looks like this front group, set up by either Iran or Hezbollah, are recruiting young men through snapchat to carry out the attacks
Relevant to rNeolib: Discussion about something relevant to the rising anti-semitism in the UK and rest of Europe, as well as what could be a new pattern of unconventional terror and warfare tactics

i should point out that Iranian groups have done this before the AMIA Bombing which killed 85 in Argentina. so it’s not something totally new
