The constituency office of Labour Member of Parliament Sharon Hodgson was set ablaze, according to British media reports on Thursday. Six firefighting units were needed to extinguish the flames at 12:10 AM.
The arsonist graffitied: "328 days blood on your hands” on the office building, according to The Telegraph.
While a motive is not yet known, the Telegraph noted that it has been 328 days since Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in Gaza.
Hodgson's office set ablaze
Hodgson is a member of Labour Friends of Israel. On the podcast Jonny Gould's Jewish State, she revealed that she is half-Jewish. Her father was Jewish, and her mother was not.
"Sharon will not be deterred and will continue to support her constituents in Washington and Gateshead South as she does day in, day out," Hodgson's spokesperson said, as reported by the BBC.
"We will not be commenting or speculating while there is an ongoing police investigation, what we are clear on is there is no place for this kind of violence in our society."
This is a developing story.
