An explosive-laden caravan was discovered in Dural, Sydney, on January 19, containing enough explosives to create a 40-metre blast wave and details of potential Jewish targets.

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb revealed that the investigation has been compromised due to media leaks, which could hinder efforts to uncover the truth.

Liberal MP Julian Leeser has called for the government to provide more information about the caravan incident, stressing the importance of community awareness in ongoing investigations.

Federal police are exploring the possibility that foreign actors may be financing local criminals to carry out antisemitic acts, indicating a broader threat.

Deputy Commissioner Dave Hudson suggested that some antisemitic attacks may be coordinated by third parties, as those arrested do not exhibit a clear ideological motive.

Despite the significant amount of explosives found, investigators noted that no detonator was present, allowing them to address public safety concerns early in the investigation.

The owner of the caravan is currently in custody on unrelated charges, while ASIO and NSW Police continue their investigation into the explosives, which are typically associated with the mining industry.

Recent reports have highlighted a surge in antisemitic attacks in Sydney, with three incidents occurring overnight in the eastern suburbs, including vandalism near a Jewish school.

NSW Premier Chris Minns condemned the graffiti incident at the school as appalling and shameful, underscoring the severity of the ongoing antisemitic attacks.

Peter Wertheim, co-chief executive of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, expressed growing anger within the Jewish community over the persistent attacks and called for a shift in societal attitudes towards hate ideologies.

Wertheim also criticized the lack of communication to potential targets about the threats they face, urging for more decisive action against antisemitism.
