Sydney Synagogue Defaced with Swastikas in Antisemitic Attack

Leaders condemn the hateful act as police investigate and Jewish community calls for swift justice.

A synagogue in Allawah, southern Sydney, was vandalized with swastikas and antisemitic slurs early Friday morning.
NSW Premier Chris Minns and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the attack, calling it hateful and unacceptable in Australia's multicultural society.
The incident follows a series of recent antisemitic attacks in Sydney, including graffiti targeting Jewish individuals and institutions.
Jewish community leaders are urging swift arrests and stronger penalties for hate crimes to prevent normalization of such behavior.
NSW Police, including counter-terrorism teams, are investigating the crime and have identified two masked suspects on CCTV footage.
