Event Summary

A terrorist attack occurred at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in Manchester, United Kingdom, on Yom Kippur. 2025 Manchester synagogue attack, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent, rammed a car into pedestrians and then attacked them with a knife. Two men, Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz, were killed, and three others were hospitalized. United Kingdom — Greater Manchester Police shot and killed Al-Shamie, but a pathologist provisionally determined that one of the victims, Adrian Daulby, had a gunshot wound, suggesting he was accidentally shot by police. The attack is being investigated as terrorism, and three people have been arrested in connection with it. Political and religious leaders, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, condemned the attack and pledged support for the Jewish community. The event has also reignited debate over rising antisemitic incidents in the United Kingdom, which have increased sharply since Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel and Israel's ensuing war against Hamas in Gaza, and the role of pro-Palestinian protests.
