An Australian Jewish group has condemned at least two outpourings of support for Hamas attacks on Israel in south-west Sydney.

Video footage of green and red fireworks being launched from the back of a moving silver ute was captured in Greenacre on Sunday evening. The shell fireworks appeared to be shot from a mortar tube while Palestinian flags were waved from the car as it crossed through red lights. Shouts of support and car horns can be heard in the background.
