(ABC-Australia) A Sydney man has been ordered to surrender personalised number plates that appear to reference the October 7 attacks by Hamas on Israel.
A utility vehicle with the registration number “OCT7TH” was spotted in Sydney’s west on Wednesday afternoon.
Tom, who asked for his surname to be withheld for fear of his safety, said he photographed the vehicle on the M7 motorway at Eastern Creek about 1:30pm.
“I knew [the number plate] was in reference to the massacre that occurred in Israel on that day,” Tom, who is Jewish, told the ABC.
“I was so disturbed to the point of feeling sick,” he said.
