MI5 and Anti -Terrorist Police will operate in the coming weeks in the coming weeks, reflecting the concern that the Manchester synagogue attack could be followed by others during the second anniversary of the October 7 attack on Israel.

Police will be increased in synagogues throughout the country. London Mayor Sadiq Khan promised the patrols of “high visibility” patrols in Jewish places of worship to guarantee communities and to deter him other threats, and the police forces in other parts of England have made similar commitments.

Investigations about the attack that killed two people and seriously injured four people remain at an early stage. The central theory is that the killer shot by the police has an Islamist motivation. There is no information that the ongoing Israeli military campaign and the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza may have been radicalized and radicalized.

Manchester, Crumpsall in the Heaton Park Hebrew Community Synagogue at 9.30 in the morning was not sophisticated.

It was seen that the attacker carried a explosive and had a vest and items tied to his waist, but the devices were fake. Sinagogue victims, who marked the last day of Yom Kippur, were stabbed with a knife.

An important investigation line for the researchers is whether the attacker moves alone, but is not considered a threat to the public.

When the norm becomes rare during the Al Qaeda period, the lands directed from abroad become rare, and individuals often become more radical by following the news or by getting online information.

The inspectors also acknowledged that the two-year Israeli-Gaza war has changed the threat.

Two years ago, MI5 President Ken McCallum said: “There is a possibility that deep events in the Middle East produce more United Kingdom threats and/or change the shape of people in terms of inspiration.”
