A volunteer ambulance service which was targeted in an antisemitic attack saved a one-week-old baby’s life last year,Metro can reveal.
The Hatzola crew arrived within just five minutes when Yossi and Esti Glass’ newborn daughter,Aliza,started choking last December.
She was rushed to a north London hospital in the very ambulance her Rabbi grandfather’s synagogue had just fundraised to buy.
Esti said she was forever grateful for the charity,and called the early-hours firebombing on its vehicles an abhorrent tragedy.
She told Metro: ‘Hatzola volunteer’s saved my daughter’s life. They are angels.
‘[The attack] is a complete tragedy. I do not understand it. There are some really nasty people in the world.’
He added: ‘The targeting of Hatzola by people so committed to terror,hatred and the desecration of life is a most painful illustration of the ongoing battle between those who sanctify life and those who seek to destroy it.
‘At a time when Jewish communities around the world are facing a growing pattern of these violent attacks,we will meet this moment with shared resolve and stand together against hatred and intimidation.’
The Prime Minister called it ‘deeply shocking’,saying that antisemitism has ‘no place in our society’.
