Antisemitic incidents in UK spiked after Manchester synagogue terror attack

Community Security Trust, which provides security to British Jews, recorded total 3,700 incidents in 2025

Antisemitic incidents increased sharply in the UK after the deadly attack on a Manchester synagogue on the holiest day of the Jewish year, according to an organisation that provides security to British Jews.

Two people died and three were seriously injured at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation on 2 October last year, in the first fatal antisemitic terror attack since the Community Security Trust (CST) began recording incidents in 1984.
