The Papers: 'Knife and vehicle attack' and 'Face of hatred'
A hate-filled knifeman's attack at a synagogue in Manchester on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar leads Friday's papers. Eyewitnesses describe the assailant as acting like a "robot," with a heroic rabbi and worshippers managing to barricade doors, preventing the attacker from entering. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer labels the incident a "terrorist attack," with police on alert for potential copycats amid rising antisemitic hatred.
