The burning of a Melbourne synagogue has offically been deemed as a terrorist attack.
The Adass Israel Synagogue in Ripponlea was firebombed in the early hours of Friday morning last week, sending shockwaves through the Jewish community.
On Monday, following a meeting between the AFP and Victoria, police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said confirmed they were now treating it as a likely terrorism incident.
Two of the synagogue’s three buildings were gutted in a fire.
The Victorian Government has pledged $100,000 to help rebuild the site.
