Health Secretary Wes Streeting has announced that the government will be funding the replacement of the four Hatzola ambulances destroyed in Monday’s arson attack.

The vehicles were destroyed in Golders Green in what police are now investigating as an “antisemitic hate crime”.

Streeting said: "The Jewish community should not be left footing the bill for this appalling attack on a brilliant ambulance service.

"Those responsible for this attack must know that the Jewish community will not face up to this hatred alone. The whole country will stand with them."
