There was a break-in at a StandWithUs United Kingdom (UK) affiliate’s office on the morning of April 26, with the pro-Israel education organization calling it a “calculated attack” and a “violent and threatening message.”

In their , StandWithUs UK said that the culprits broke through the office ceiling and placed a burning memorial candle next to one of StandWithUs UK’s shirts. “The implication of this is clear—they are sending a violent and threatening message aimed at our organisation and our staff,” StandWithUs UK’s statement read.

Isaac Zarfati, who heads the pro-Israel education affiliate, said in a statement, “Our staff were shaken but are determined. We remain committed to our mission, of working tirelessly towards countering antisemitism and misinformation about Israel, regardless of this hateful attempt to intimidate us. This intimidation is indicative of what 91ý and Zionist students face regularly from those who seek to discriminate against them. It will not stand.” StandWithUs UK has been in touch with local authorities and the Community Security Trust on the matter.

The break-in occurred on Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israeli Independence Day.
