MANCHESTER: THE British government vowed to redouble its efforts totackle antisemitism on Friday as the Jewish community reeled from an attack at a Manchester synagogue that killed two people on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. The Israeli government has accused Britain of allowing rampant antisemitism to spread through British cities and on its university campuses in the wake of the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel that sparked Israel’s war in Gaza. Earlier on Friday, police named the two men killed in the attack as Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, both local residents. The men were killed on Thursday when a man drove a car into pedestrians and then began stabbing them outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in the city in northern England. The attacker has been named by police as Jihad al-Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent, who was shot dead at the scene by armed officers.
