Two suspects daubed anti-Israel graffiti and torched a car in a Sydney suburb on Wednesday, police said, sparking "outrage" from Australia's government days after a Melbourne synagogue was set ablaze.
Police said they were seeking two males believed to be in their late teens who were "disguised" and seen running from the scene in the early hours, AFP reported.
The offenders burned the car they had been driving, and spread graffiti over the burned car, another vehicle, two buildings and a footpath, New South Wales state police said.
Images on local media showed the misspelled phrase "Kill Israiel" sprayed 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.
"I stand with the Jewish community and unequivocally condemn this attack. There is no place for hatred or anti-Semitism in our country."
The Australian leader said he would be briefed by a federal police task force that was set up this week to investigate anti-Semitic attacks.
Albanese had toured the charred remains of the Melbourne synagogue the day before, urging the country to unite in the face of the "evil" arson attack.
Counter-terror police are hunting for three suspects believed responsible for setting fire to the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne on Friday.
