    Thanks for following our live coverage after two people were killed and others injured during a car and knife attack at a synagogue in Greater Manchester.

    Police are treating the attack as a terror incident and said three arrests have been made, while the suspect – who was shot dead at the scene by police – has been named as 35-year-old Jihad al Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian descent.

    Sir Keir Starmer, speaking after he chaired an emergency COBRA meeting this evening, promised to do everything in his power to guarantee British Jews “the security that you deserve” after the attack.

    He said: “I promise you that this Britain will come together to wrap our arms around your community and show you that Britain is a place where you and your family are safe, secure and belong.”

    Several Jewish groups have said they expected a deadly antisemitic attack to take place in the UK due to “a tsunami of Jew hatred” in the country.

    Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar said he had spoken to the head of Manchester’s Jewish community. 

    He also apportioned some blame for the attack on the “authorities in Britain,” who he said had “failed to take the necessary action to curb this toxic wave of antisemitism and have effectively allowed it to persist”.
