Met Police Probe Hostage-Ribbon Cutting in Muswell Hill as Husband Alleges Mossad-Linked Attack

Police have interviewed the woman under caution, with the alleged retaliatory attack unverified.

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.
