Counter-terrorism police in Greater Sydney are investigating a caravan filled with explosives discovered at a residential property. Authorities revealed that the explosives may have been intended for an antisemitic attack, linking the incident to ongoing investigations into previous antisemitic acts, including graffiti and arson. Police have arrested individuals connected to the investigation, mitigating, but not eliminating, the risk. New South Wales officials emphasized the seriousness of the situation, noting the potential for massive damage had the explosives been detonated, and confirmed the involvement of various law enforcement agencies in the ongoing investigation.
Hudson stated that this incident is likely linked to previously charged individuals in connection with recent antisemitic attacks, indicating a concerning pattern of violence.
Premier Minns stressed that counter-terrorism efforts involve over 100 officers, underscoring the potential for a mass casualty event stemming from the explosives found.
