Manchester Synagogue Attacker on Bail for Rape; Father Praised Hamas’s Oct. 7 Onslaught
Shocking new details have emerged following the deadly terror attack on a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur, revealing the assailant, Jihad al-Shamie, was out on bail for alleged rape. His father, Faraj al-Shamie, who has publicly condemned his son’s actions, was also found to have lauded Hamas’s October 7, 2023, assault on Israel in resurfaced social media posts.
The attack, which occurred on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, resulted in the deaths of Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, with three others seriously wounded. Jihad al-Shamie, a 35-year-old Syrian-born UK citizen, was fatally shot by law enforcement as he attempted to force his way into the Heaton Park Congregation. Eyewitnesses reported Shamie shouted, “this is what they get for killing our children.”
Adrian Daulby has been hailed as a hero for his actions in barricading the synagogue door, a measure believed to have prevented greater casualties. Tragically, police stated Daulby was accidentally shot dead by officers during their urgent response to end the attack. Authorities are investigating Shamie’s potential links to extreme Islamist ideology and a 2012 death threat against a former Conservative MP.
The revelations come amidst a vigil held yesterday near the synagogue, where UK Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy was jeered by attendees demanding government action against pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper have both condemned the attack and pledged support for the Jewish community, with Cooper discussing the incident with her Israeli counterpart.
