Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed condolences to the UK's Jewish community on October 2nd, 2025, following a terror attack in Manchester. In a statement posted to X at [CURRENT_TIME_UTC - 1 minute], Netanyahu stated, "Our hearts are with the families of the murdered, and we pray for the swift recovery of the wounded." He also warned that "weakness in the face of terrorism only brings more terrorism," asserting that "only strength and unity can defeat it." Netanyahu's remarks come after three individuals identified as members of the 'Kingdom of Kubala' were detained by London Metropolitan Police at Limehouse DLR Station around 5:00 PM UTC on October 2nd, 2025. The detentions occurred after police blocked off the station and Commercial Road in the E14 district earlier in the afternoon, starting around 4:30 PM UTC. The specific reasons for the detentions and the group's alleged involvement have not been immediately disclosed by the Metropolitan Police. This incident in Limehouse follows a period of heightened security alerts in London. Earlier on October 2nd, London Euston station experienced a brief evacuation due to a suspicious item, which reopened around 3:00 PM UTC. The Metropolitan Police had previously announced enhanced security measures for Jewish communities in response to the synagogue attack in Manchester on Yom Kippur, where perpetrators were reportedly killed by security staff.
