Sydney Hit by Anti-Israel Vandalism in Woollahra

Graffiti and arson targeting vehicles and buildings have drawn widespread condemnation from Australian leaders and communities.

A ute was set on fire, and over a dozen vehicles and buildings were vandalized with anti-Israel graffiti in Woollahra, Sydney's eastern suburbs.
Graffiti included phrases such as 'F--- Israel' and 'PKK coming,' referencing the Kurdistan Workers' Party, a group classified as a terrorist organization in Australia.
Authorities estimate damages at approximately $110,000, and NSW Police have launched Strike Force Mylor to investigate the incident.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns condemned the acts as antisemitic and unacceptable, emphasizing that overseas conflicts must not fuel domestic prejudice.
Jewish community leaders expressed concern over escalating harassment, noting similar incidents in recent months, while calling for decisive action to ensure safety and unity.
