A pro-Iranian group, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI), has claimed responsibility for a spate of attacks on Jewish communities and American interests in Europe. The incidents, which were posted via social media accounts affiliated with pro-Israelian militias, include arson attacks on community-run ambulances in the UK, an explosive device detonated outside a synagogue in Belgium and a thwarted attack on a Bank of America office in France. The group only appeared online a month ago after the US and Israel launched their war on Iran.
