Hey friends! The UK is on high alert after a shocking attack outside a Manchester synagogue that killed two people and injured three. 🚨🇬🇧
The incident happened on Yom Kippur—the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, also called the Day of Atonement. It began with a car ramming into the crowd, followed by a stabbing spree.
Police say they shot the attacker dead. Recent updates show one of the two victims may have been struck by police fire. A medical examiner (pathologist) found a wound consistent with a gunshot, likely an unintended consequence during the chaotic response.
Two other victims are still in serious condition, and one hospitalized person has a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Our thoughts are with everyone affected. 💔
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, joined by his wife Victoria, visited the scene. He’s vowed to boost security at synagogues across Britain to protect the Jewish community. It is a strong message that hate has no place—anywhere. ✡️✊
From Mumbai to Manila, let us stand together against antisemitism and violence of any kind. Stay safe, stay vigilant, and keep spreading love and unity. 🌏❤️
