Jewish residents already fear for their lives following an escalating series of antisemitic attacks across the city. Places of worship have been vandalised. A childcare centre near a Maroubra synagogue has been firebombed.

Multiple sites in Sydney's eastern suburbs have been vandalised in what has been labelled as an "appalling and shameful" attack by NSW Premier Chris Minns and "heartbreaking" by the education industry.

NSW Police were contacted about the caravan, which had power gel explosives with the potential to a cause a "mass casualty event", alongside a document with both antisemitic sentiments and a list of targets.

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has strongly condemned the “horrifying” antisemitic attack in Sydney’s east during a press conference.

NSW Premier Chris Minns claims he is “horrified” at the recent antisemitic attack on a Sydney childcare, which was firebombed and defaced.

SYDNEY, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- The owner of a caravan found filled with explosives in northwest Sydney, the capital city of Australia's state of New South Wales (NSW), is already in police custody, authorities have said.

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has addressed the media over an ongoing police investigation after officers uncovered a caravan in Sydney’s Hills District carrying explosives and the address of a Jewish synagogue.

A caravan containing explosives and documents suggesting plans to target the Jewish community has been labelled a terrorist threat by the NSW premier, who said the objects could have led to a "mass casualty event".

Chris Minns says he “can’t promise an end” to the spate of anti-Semitic attacks in NSW, but is vowing strong police responses and to even make changes to the law “to keep people safe”.

The Australian Federal Police and ASIO are now involved in the investigation with police saying there is no ongoing threat to the public.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns will formally announce on Sunday the major upgrade to a two-lane semi-rural road.

A busy stretch of road in south-west Sydney will get a mammoth upgrade to connect it to the new western Sydney airport.
