About

Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI) is a little-known Islamist group that has recently gained attention for claiming responsibility for an arson attack on four volunteer ambulances run by a Jewish organization in London. The ambulances were parked next to a synagogue when they were set on fire. The UK police are investigating the incident as a hate crime, with counterterrorism police leading the inquiry. The arrests of two men have been made in connection with the attack. HAYI's claim of responsibility, made online, is being taken seriously by authorities, who are also investigating possible links between the group and Iran. The incident has been widely condemned as antisemitic, and the investigation is ongoing to determine the full extent of HAYI's involvement and motivations.
