These include arson attacks on four Jewish ambulances in Golders Green and a synagogue in Finchley, north London.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme Jukes confirmed the Met was investigating Iranian-backed proxies linked to the recent incidents.
“I think that’s a very serious line of inquiry in relation to these events, we’ve seen a pattern… people taking cash, as it looks like quick and easy money.”
Most of the attacks appear to have been claimed online by the group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia – or the Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right – which has recently claimed attacks across Europe.
The Met Police previously said it was investigating the authenticity of the claims and whether the group was linked to the incidents.
Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis described the arson attack as “cowardly” and said “a sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community of the UK is gathering momentum”.
His statement shared on X, external said: “This sustained attack on our community’s ability to worship and live in safety is an attack on the values that bind us all together.”
