British prosecutors said on ​Friday they had charged three men ‌in connection with an arson attack last month on Jewish community ambulances in North London.

The ambulances ​were set on fire on March ​23 in what British Prime Minister Keir ⁠Starmer described as a “deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack.”

The ​SITE Intelligence website has said an Iran-aligned ​multinational militant collective called Islamic Movement of the People of the Right Hand had claimed responsibility for ​the incident near a synagogue in the ​Golders Green area of London.

Counter-terrorism officers are heading the ‌investigation, ⁠but as yet the incident is not being treated as terrorism.

The Crown Prosecution Service said the three men — aged 20, 19 ​and 17 — ​have been ⁠charged with arson with intent to damage property and being reckless ​as to whether life would be ​endangered.

Two ⁠are British nationals, while the third is a dual British-Pakistani citizen.
