Third Arrest in Melbourne Synagogue Arson

A third suspect has been arrested in the December 2024 arson attack on Melbourne’s Adass Israel Synagogue, part of a broader investigation into foreign-directed antisemitic violence. Police allege a 20-year-old already in custody, along with two masked accomplices, poured flammable liquid and set the building ablaze, injuring one worshipper. Prime Minister Albanese and Australia’s top spy chief point to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as orchestrators, citing a network of proxies — leading to the expulsion of Iranian diplomats. Authorities are probing whether the suspects knew their handlers, while reaffirming commitment to Jewish community safety amid a national inquiry into rising antisemitism. The third suspect’s court appearance is set for next week. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
