New South Wales (NSW) Police have arrested 14 individuals and charged them with 65 offences following investigations into a series of anti-Semitic incidents in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

The arrests are part of an ongoing operation under Strike Force Pearl, which began in December 2024 and aims to disrupt criminal groups involved in hate-driven crimes targeting the Jewish community.
