British police have arrested a fourth individual in connection with an arson attack on ambulances operated by a Jewish community service, prosecutors confirmed on Saturday. The arrest occurred at a London court where three males were already facing charges for the incident.

The accused — Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, and a 17-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons — allegedly set fire to four ambulances owned by the volunteer service Hatzola. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the act as a 'deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack.'

While the SITE Intelligence Group cited an Iran-aligned group claiming responsibility, British counter-terrorism officers are leading the investigation. However, the incident is not currently categorized as terrorism. The investigation continues as three men face charges of arson and recklessness about endangerment of life.
