NSW Police Commissioner announces increase in resources dedicated to “Operation Shelter”

Thursday, 12 December 2024 04:50:21 AM

Following Yesterday, Wednesday 11 December 2024, Commissioner Karen Webb APM announced an increase in resources dedicated to Operation Shelter.

Vandals daubed anti-Israel graffiti in the  Sydney suburb of Woolhara(off Edgecliff Road) on Wednesday, police said, sparking “outrage”from community leaders and NSW Government lead by Premier Chris Minns .

Police said they were seeking two people aged 15-20 who wore face coverings in relation to the incident, in which a car was also torched in the early hours.

Graffiti was spread over the burned car, another vehicle, two buildings and a footpath, state police said.

Images on local media showed the misspelled phrase “Kill Israel” painted in black on a white wall in the eastern suburb of Woollahra, which has a long-established Jewish community.

A contractor painted over the graffiti soon afterwards.

“The incident in Sydney is an outrage and another anti-Semitic attack,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said in a statement on social media.

“I stand with the Jewish community and unequivocally condemn this attack. There is no place for hatred or anti-Semitism in our country.”

Additional police have been tasked with high-visibility patrols and community engagement as part of the operation.
