Police in Sydney are investigating anti-Israel graffiti sprayed on buildings and bollards at North Bondi Beach over the weekend, local media reports.
Messages saying “Fuck the IDF” and “Free Palestine” were scrawled along the popular beachfront. The targets are not believed to be Jewish-owned.
New South Wales police have cordoned off the area to investigate, The Sydney Morning Herald says. No suspects have been identified.
Anti-Jewish activity has skyrocketed in Australia amid the Gaza war sparked by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023. Some 2,062 incidents were recorded between October 2023 and September 2024, compared to 495 incidents a year earlier, according to data from the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
