The UK raised its terror threat level from “substantial” to “severe” after an attack on two Jewish men in Golders Green, London.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said this means a terrorist attack is now considered highly likely.

Authorities noted the change reflects broader trends, not just the single incident.

The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre cited increasing threats from Islamist and far-right individuals and small groups, the DW has reported.

The victims are in stable condition, and the incident is part of a wider rise in attacks targeting Jewish communities.
