At about 2pm on December 23, 1982, an explosive device detonated in the stairwell of a building next to the fire exit door of the Israeli Consulate General’s headquarters on 80 William Street in the city CBD.
Two people were injured and the building was badly damaged.
At about 6.45pm that same day a second explosive device was located within the boot of a car parked at the Hakoah Club on 61-67 Hall Street, Bondi.
The device failed to explode properly and resulted in the timing device being blown clear.
