Arsonists set fire to a synagogue in Melbourne, Australia, causing significant damage to the building. Witnesses saw two people pouring accelerant inside the synagogue before fleeing the scene. The police are looking for three individuals believed to be involved in the targeted incident. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the attack as antisemitism and stated that it has no place in Australia. This incident adds to the increasing tensions between Jews and Muslims in the country since the recent conflict in Gaza.
