Explosives-Laden Caravan Sparks Antisemitism Concerns in Sydney

Authorities investigate a potential mass-casualty threat targeting Jewish communities, as parents voice fears over rising antisemitic attacks.

A caravan containing explosives and a list of Jewish community targets was discovered in Dural, Sydney, prompting a joint counter-terrorism investigation.
The caravan, parked since December, was found to contain Powergel explosives capable of a 40-meter blast radius, though no detonator was present.
The leak of investigation details has raised questions about coordination between federal and state authorities and when political leaders were informed.
Rising antisemitic incidents, including graffiti and arson attacks on Jewish schools and businesses, have increased community anxiety and security measures.
Authorities are exploring whether local criminals are being paid by overseas or domestic actors to carry out attacks on Jewish Australians.
