On January 19, police in Sydney discovered a trailer containing explosives and a list of Jewish targets, indicating a serious escalation in antisemitic crimes. This finding reflects a troubling pattern of increased arson and graffiti incidents targeting the Jewish community in Australia since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war in 2023. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns labeled the incident a potential mass casualty event, calling it terrorism. Authorities have arrested several individuals and are conducting extensive investigations involving federal and state police to address this alarming threat.
