What have we done in the last 36 hours?
The terror attacks in Israel have shaken the community and we are coming to terms with the news as it continues to evolve.
Already we are seeing incidents of antisemitism in the UK in direct response to the conflict in Israel - so we are taking the unprecedented action of posting on Yomtov to update our community.
Your safety is always our number one priority and we wanted to provide an urgent update of how we are supporting the community.

CST has engaged in detailed operational discussions and cooperation with senior police across the UK including London and Manchester.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

REALTIME MONITORING
Our dedicated CST expert teams are monitoring social media, web forums and the dark web for extremist reactions in the UK to the conflict.
