Melbourne anti-Israel threat: Video from ‘cell’ emerges online, taking responsibility for anti-Semitic attack
Police are investigating a disturbing online video featuring a masked individual sitting in front of a Palestinian flag, claiming responsibility for an anti-Semitic attack in Victoria.
The threatening video recently surfaced online and includes claims that the “cell” has the address of Australians involved in the production of weapons supplied to Israel, adding it will distribute those details through it’s underground network.
It also includes details about how individuals could carry out attacks, showing fire-lighters in a bag which is then set on fire, adding a warning to be careful of DNA.

By continuing you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy.“This is an anonymous communique by the cell that torched three cars at Lovett Technologies on the morning of July 5th 2025,” the video begins.
“Let there be no illusions as to what this was. This was not an accident nor thoughtless vandalism.
“This is a clear and serious threat.
“If you continue making weapons components of any kind there will be consequences. Consider this a warning.”
The video alleges that Lovitt Technologies “has chosen its place” after “21 months of an accelerated genocide against the Palestinian people by the illegitimate Zionist entity”.
It also mentions the “murder of Aboriginal peoples across so-called ‘Australia’”.
The video claims responsibilities for the attack at Lovett Technologies, claiming that it has the addresses of individuals working there.
“We will decide your fate, as you have decided the fate of millions,” the masked figure says.
“For the past few months we have been closely watching you.
“We have your addresses.
“All the information we have about you will be distributed to our underground networks.
“Stop arming Israel or else.”
On June 5, three cars outside Lovitt were graffitied and set on fire. Anti-Semitic messages were sprayed on the cars that then sat there burnt.
Victoria Police said the incident is currently under investigation by the Victorian joint counter terrorism team.
“The investigation into an incident at a Greensborough business earlier this month remains ongoing,” a spokesperson said.
“It’s understood up to five people attended the property on Para Road about 3.55am on Saturday 5 July 2025.
Victoria Police said they are “aware” of the video.
“Investigators are aware of a video which has been circulating where a group has claimed responsibility for the incident.”
“This video is being reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation.
The video with the masked individual includes a disturbing call to action.
“If you are watching this you can do what we have done,” the individual from the “cell” says.
“Be mindful of fingerprints and DNA.”
The individual then sets what appears to be a brown paper bag on fire.
As the bag, which appears to be filled with fire starters, burns, the individual says “every colony will burn”.
“Land back and liberation will grow back from the ashes,” the individual says.
“Death to Israel, death to Australia, death to America.
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.”
The Australian Jewish Association shared the threatening video on it’s social media saying “Australian businesses are being threatened by ‘Free Palestine’ thugs”.
“This is what happens when the Labor Government refuses to act for almost 2 years,” it added.
Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Alex Ryvchin said the group’s messaged resembled the chilling videos shared by Al Qaeda.
“Seeing a group resembling an Al Qaeda terror cell openly pledging to carry out criminal acts is chilling and disturbing,” Mr Ryvchin said.
“It doesn’t matter that they think they’re doing something just and righteous - Islamist terrorists and neo-nazis think that too.
“What matters is that we remain a country of laws and not allow bands of zealots to decide what is a legitimate target for violence and criminal acts.
“Today it is a business they oppose and tomorrow it will be individuals, politicians, journalists or religious institutions they deem impure.
“We expect this incident to be investigated and for those responsible to be met with the law. If we fail to confront this threat we risk becoming a nation of competing violent extremists and not a society under the rule of law.”
Police urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or the National Security Hotline immediately on 1800 123 400.
