Australian police have charged a third suspect in the December 2024 arson attack on Melbourne’s Adass Israel ShuL, an incident the Australian government says was directed by Iran.

The 20-year-old suspect, whose name has not been released, is accused of being one of three masked men who broke into the Shul in the early hours of December 6, doused the building with flammable liquid, and set it ablaze.

The fire caused extensive damage to the Shul and left one person with minor injuries.
