Police in London will be offering more protection to the city's Jewish community over the upcoming Hanukkah festival, the Met has said. Officers will be stepping up patrols, visits and other activities because of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas and the rise in antisemitic hate crime in the UK.

As Hanukkah festivities are set to begin, law enforcement agencies and Jewish Community Relations Council officials say they will increase security and safety precautions to ensure the protection of all those who celebrate.
