The ultra-orthodox Adass community in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs has been offered support ahead of the public release of “confronting” vision showing their synagogue being set alight in December.

The Victorian Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) has released images of those allegedly responsible for last year’s Adass Israel Synagogue arson attack in Victoria, while also reiterating their suspicion it was “a politically-motivated attack”.
