Australian police arrested seven teenagers in Sydney, aged 15 to 17, for their alleged involvement in a violent extremist ideology. The arrests, part of a larger network investigation, aimed to prevent potential attacks. Over 400 officers conducted raids, and five other teens are under questioning. While no specific targets or timing were found, the group posed an immediate threat. The operation was not linked to the upcoming Anzac Day. Separately, a court extended a ban on social media platform X from showing videos of a recent stabbing attack. ASIO Director-General confirmed involvement in the operation, highlighting concerns about minors influenced by extremist content.
