The Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne experienced a devastating attack characterized by a deliberately lit fire, according to police and eyewitness accounts.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the attack as antisemitic, emphasizing that such hatred is intolerable in Australia and urging for accountability for those responsible.
Detective Inspector Chris Murray reported that eyewitnesses observed masked individuals spreading an accelerant inside the synagogue, indicating the premeditated nature of the crime.
Data indicates a rising trend in both antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents in Australia following the conflict escalation in the Middle East, affecting local communities.
