Overview
- Nadia Yahlom, 36, was filmed cutting down yellow Bring Them Home ribbons tied near a synagogue in Muswell Hill on the eve of the October 7 anniversary.
- The Metropolitan Police say they are treating the incident as racially aggravated criminal damage and have reviewed footage after interviewing her under caution.
- Her husband, Mo’min Swaitat, posted that the couple were attacked by an extremist group “probably working for Mossad,” a claim reported publicly without independent verification.
- Yahlom’s family say she has received death threats, including messages directed at her young daughter’s school, and they contacted police.
- Local residents re-tied the ribbons, the Met stepped up reassurance patrols, and the University of Westminster said there is no place for discrimination at the institution.
