News of the cowardly, mid-night attack in Golders Green has sent shockwaves through Jewish communities around the world. This iconic London neighborhood, a thriving center of Jewish life in the heart of London, has once again been targeted by antisemitism and terrorism simply because of the identity of the population that lives there. We are shocked and saddened that Hatzola Northwest, another organization whose mission is to save lives, was the target of such hateful violence. Furthermore, the deliberate destruction of lifesaving infrastructure crosses a moral line that should remain inviolable.

From Israel, United Hatzalah stands in full solidarity with the greater British Jewish community. Our network of more than 8,100 volunteer medics understand what it means to respond under threat, and why the mission must continue regardless.

We at United Hatzalah of Israel stand shoulder to shoulder with our fellow first responders in the United Kingdom. We are all united by a singular purpose: to save lives and uphold the sanctity of human life in the face of terror.

We must never allow terror to prevail. Not in London, not in Israel. Not anywhere.
