Melboune Synagogue Damaged by Arsonist
Posted on 2025-07-05 14:43:13
An arsonist has set fire to the door of a Melbourne synagogue and forced the
congregation to flee, seven months after criminals destroyed a synagogue in
the same Australian city with an accelerant-fueled blaze that left a
worshipper injured.

Police say a man doused the double front doors of the downtown East Melbourne
Hebrew Congregation and set it alight on Friday night.

Around 20 worshippers evacuated through a rear door and no one was injured.

Fire fighters extinguished the blaze which was contained to the front
entrance.

A wave of antisemitic attacks has hit Australia since the 2023 Hamas attack
on Israel triggered the war in Gaza.
