An arson attack on the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne has sparked outrage and condemnation from Australian officials and the international community. The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Friday, resulted in extensive damage to the synagogue.
Witnesses reported seeing two masked individuals spreading a liquid accelerant inside the building before fleeing the scene. The attack, which authorities suspect to be motivated by antisemitism, has been strongly denounced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as an assault on Australian values.
