Community Security Trust issues a notice to organisations to upgrade security.
The Jewish community in Britain has been put on high alert following Iran’s attack on Israel.
On Saturday night, the Community Security Trust (CST) – a charity that exists to protect Jews from anti-Semitism – said it had issued a notice to Jewish organisations to upgrade security measures in light of the attack.
The charity said: “CST has tonight sent a notice to all communal organisations, requesting that security measures are fully implemented.
“This is a necessary precaution because of the situation between Iran and Israel. It is not due to any specific information or warning here in the UK.”
It added: “CST has worked tirelessly with our community, police and Government since the war began on Oct 7, doing everything we can together to support and enable UK Jewish life. This will continue for as long as it is needed.”
The Board of Deputies of British Jews said on Saturday night: “We are praying for the safety of Israel and its citizens, as well as the entire region, as the Iranian regime launches a direct attack.”
