A 17-year-old boy has been charged with arson following an attack on a synagogue in Kenton, Harrow, in north-west London.

The incident involved a bottle containing an accelerant being thrown through the window of the synagogue building. Police initially arrested two individuals in connection with the attack.

The synagogue is located in the Kenton area of the London Borough of Harrow, which has a significant Jewish community. The attack represents the latest incident targeting Jewish religious buildings in the UK.

Authorities have not released details about the extent of any damage to the synagogue or whether anyone was injured during the incident. The case involving the charged teenager will proceed through the youth court system due to his age.

Police have not disclosed information about the second person who was initially arrested or whether they remain in custody. The investigation into the incident appears to be ongoing.
