Fatal Synagogue Attacks in Manchester and London Kill Four, Injure Several

A deadly terror attack occurred at the Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur when a man drove a car erratically into pedestrians outside the synagogue before attacking people with a knife. The attacker, wearing a vest resembling an explosive device, was shot dead by armed police within seven minutes of the emergency call. Two members of the Jewish community were killed, and four others were seriously injured. Witnesses described the attacker crashing into the synagogue gates and attempting to break in while stabbing people, including a security guard, before being stopped. Police confirmed the incident is terror-related, with two additional suspects arrested and increased patrols at Jewish sites nationwide. The attack shocked the local community, which is known for its interfaith tolerance, and took place during the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.
