Menacing unverified videos from an anonymous group claiming responsibility for an arson attack on three cars at aerospace company Lovitt Technologies Australia (LTA) on July 5 are circulating on social media.

The attack on LTA occurred the same night that a man attempted to light East Melbourne Synagogue on fire and Israeli restaurant Miznon was targeted by anti-Israel protesters. Police said that no links had been found between these incidents.

The first video posted on Monday showed a masked person in black and in an altered voice threatens LTA telling it to “stop arming Israel or else”.

The speaker claims LTA was targeted for reasons including supplying parts to make F-35 fighter jets and “Israeli weapons company” Elbit systems. The person warned, “If you continue making weapons or components of any kind there will be consequences. Consider this a warning.”

The masked person threatened violence against the company’s workers, saying “every worker in this supply chain is complicit” and “We will decide your fate as you have decided the fate of millions. 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.”
