Australian police have prevented a possible antisemitic attack after uncovering a trailer packed with explosives in northwest Sydney. The discovery has left the Jewish community on edge, especially after recent incidents involving arson and graffiti targeting the group.

Officers found the suspicious caravan on a rural property in Dural on January 19, following a tip-off. Authorities revealed that the trailer contained materials that pointed to a planned antisemitic attack.

A major investigation is now underway, involving over 100 officers from various agencies, including the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. While some arrests have been made, police are still searching for others who may have been involved.

Deputy Police Commissioner David Hudson emphasized the seriousness of the situation, calling it a significant escalation from earlier acts of antisemitism in the area, which mostly involved graffiti and arson.

Officials have assured the public that the immediate threat has been contained but are urging anyone with information about the trailer to come forward.

Both NSW State Premier Chris Minns and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have strongly condemned the incident, vowing to crack down on hate and extremism. Albanese stated clearly, "Hate and extremism have no place in Australian society."
