A man responsible for leading a destructive anti-Semitic rampage has been sentenced to prison but is set to be released on parole in a matter of weeks.

During a frenzied 41-minute attack in the early hours of November 20, 2024, in Woollahra, an area known for its vibrant Jewish community in Australia, ten vehicles were defaced, two were set ablaze, and four buildings were defaced with graffiti.

Mohommed Farhat and Thomas Stojanovski, both 21 years old, were subsequently apprehended in connection with the night of terror that shook the eastern Sydney suburb.

Among the targeted locations was Chiswick, a popular restaurant owned by renowned chef Matt Moran.

In addition to his prison sentence, Farhat has been ordered to pay $5,324 in restitution to five residents whose vehicles suffered damage during the incident.

The court documents did not provide any explanation for the motives behind the two men’s actions.

But the NSW Supreme Court previously heard Farhat might have neck and throat tattoos in support of terrorist group Hezbollah.

The vandalism was among a spate of anti-Semitic incidents in Sydney, including an arson attempt on a synagogue and the targeting of a prominent Jewish leader’s former home.

Iran orchestrated at least two anti-Semitic attacks in Australia at a similar time, Australia’s national security service ASIO said in August.

Stojanovski remains out on bail awaiting his sentence on Friday.
