'Anti-Semitic' hooligans smash Jewish festival lights in a night of sickening attacks during Hanukkah
In Islington Green, hooligans tore down and smashed a menorah which had been put up by the Chabad of Islington and lit last weekend. An eyewitness described seeing a man 'run up and smash the menorah' at about 9.30am on Thursday before he fled.
Both incidents are being investigated by the Metropolitan Police.

Vandals have smashed public menorahs in north London during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.
The bulbs of one in Queen's Park were stolen and it was plastered with Pro-Palestinian stickers – the day after it was put up by Jewish community group the Chabad of West Hampstead. The menorah was targeted again on Thursday and this time it was completely destroyed.
Hanukkah is the eight-day Festival of Lights which celebrates the victory of a group of Jewish rebels known as the Maccabees over the ancient Greeks. The menorah – a nine-branched candelabra – is lit and fried food is eaten to mark the festival.
