A Palestinian-Jewish artist, Nadia Yahlom, has been identified as the woman who cut down yellow ribbons from a memorial in north London, which honored Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Yahlom, who described the ribbons as 'condoning genocide,' was confronted by locals as she removed them near a synagogue in Muswell Hill. The incident occurred on the eve of the attack's second anniversary, amid heightened tensions and increased security concerns for Jewish communities in the United Kingdom. Police are investigating whether any offenses were committed, while political leaders have condemned both the act and planned pro-Palestine protests, calling for respect and unity in the face of rising antisemitism and recent violence.
