London police have stated that the fire at the 'memorial' wall on Limes Avenue in Golders Green, North London, was likely deliberate. According to the police, the fire occurred around 12:15 AM local time on Monday and was reported to the police that same night. The police noted that the wall itself was not damaged. This wall in Golders Green was used to display images of protesters killed by the Iranian government during the crackdown on anti-government protests in January. Part of it is also dedicated to the victims of the Hamas attack in 2023 at the Nova music festival in Israel, and a new message of solidarity with the Jewish community has been installed on a tree nearby.
