The Australian police announced on Wednesday that it was thwarted by an anti -Semitic attack, the target of which was probably supposed to be a synagogue in the suburbs of Sydney in the state of New South Wales. Reuters informed about it, writes TASR. Deputy Police Commissioner David Hudson on Wednesday at Sydney briefing said that Explosive was found in a caravan shut down in Durale in the Sydney metropolitan area.
The caravan contained a number of explosives. From the indications obtained at the site of the finding shows that these explosives “could be used in some form of an anti -Semitic attack,” Hudson specified. The Times of Israel (Toi) reported that the police of the new South Wales kept this finding for nine days before the news came to the media. He is investigating it as a serious terrorist threat. Hudson stated that the suspects were detained in the meantime. However, they did not disclose their number and stated what they were accused of.
This report has appeared after a major increase in anti -Semitic activities in Australia in recent months, which collide with a war in the Palestinian Gaza Palestinum. These are arson attacks in synagogues and community centers in Sydney and Melbourne and anti -Jewish and anti -Israeli graphites on real estate or vehicles in areas where the Jewish community lives. Although Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised to take stricter measures to protect the Jewish community, but the number of incidents has not yet occurred.
