Police and security patrols have been stepped up at Jewish sites across New South Wales and Victoria after the firebombing of a Melbourne synagogue, which Benjamin Netanyahu has linked to Australia’s stance on the Israel-Gaza war.
Victoria Police confirmed it would conduct additional patrols around Adass Israel synagogue and surrounding areas in Ripponlea after the temple was set alight in the early hours of Friday morning.
