Third Arrest in Synagogue Arson Probe

Third Arrest in Synagogue Arson Probe

Published 4 days, 2 hours ago
Description

Melbourne authorities have charged a third suspect in the December 2024 arson attack on the Adass Israel Synagogue, bringing the total accused to three—including a 20-year-old already in custody. The blaze, which injured a worshipper and caused major damage, is now linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, according to Australia’s Prime Minister and intelligence agencies, who describe a sophisticated network used to hide involvement. In response, Australia expelled Iran’s ambassador and three diplomats, though Tehran denies any role. Police are still investigating whether suspects knew their overseas handlers, while the Jewish community is urged to remain vigilant. The latest arrest comes amid Australia’s broader public inquiry into rising antisemitism, including a separate Sydney tragedy. International cooperation continues as authorities seek to fully uncover the chain of command behind these attacks and hold all parties accountable.
