This looks like a building with the windows and the glass doors. I think this is a mosque. I can see the name board attached to the wall. These are the street lights. This looks like a traffic signal, which is attached to the pole. I can see the vehicles on the road. There are groups of people standing. Here is a tree. This looks like a CCTV camera, which is attached to a pole.

Manchester Synagogue Attack: Two Dead, Community in Mourning

Manchester was left reeling after a shocking attack on Yom Kippur at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue. Two Jewish worshipers, Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, lost their lives, and three others were seriously injured in a car ramming and stabbing incident that has sent shockwaves through the country's Jewish social security.

The attack, which also left the suspected assailant dead, took place as worshipers were leaving the synagogue. One victim was struck by a car, another stabbed, and a third suffered a gunshot wound. The latter is believed to have been shot by police officers who were trying to prevent the attacker from entering the synagogue. The security guard who was stabbed by the attacker was also hit by police gunfire as they attempted to secure the scene.

The incident has raised serious concerns about safety within the Jewish community. Many members are now considering moving to Israel due to fears for their safety. This comes at a time when antisemitic incidents in the UK have been rising, reaching record levels last year. Britain's chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, has attributed this increase to recent conflicts in the Middle East. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to ensure the security of every Jewish person in the country following the attack.

The Manchester attack has left a community in mourning and a nation on edge. As investigations continue, the focus turns to ensuring the safety and security of the Jewish community. The identities of the deceased, Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz, serve as a stark reminder of the lives lost and the need for action.
