Children and their families were among those forced to evacuate a synagogue targeted by arsonists, just as protesters descended on a nearby Israeli restaurant shouting “offensive chants.”

A group of about 20 people had to flee when a man doused the front of the temple in a flammable liquid and set it alight about 8 p.m. on Friday, Victoria Police said.
