The MP reflected on the incident via a thread on X stating it will "undoubtedly send shockwaves through the Jewish community of St Albans and across the UK". "Yom Kippur is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar - a day when families are gathering for prayer. "While the motive is not yet formally confirmed, reports suggest this is a targeted and potentially terrorist anti-Semitic attack. "Attacks on British Jews and their places of worship are an attack on all of us, and an attack on Britain. The MP extended her thoughts to the "victims, the brave emergency services and the entire Jewish Community, in St Albans and around the UK".
