Sky News said NSW Police acted on intelligence given the heightened security environment following the Bondi Beach terror attack four days ago, which left 15 people dead and more than 40 injured at a Hanukkah celebration.

The victims ranged in age from children to elderly adults, and the attack has been widely described as an antisemitic terrorist act by radical Islamists.

"Tactical Operations police responded to information received that a violent act was possibly being planned," NSW Police wrote in a statement.

"It's understood police took a cautious approach to the intelligence, given the climate in the wake of the Bondi terror attack on Sunday evening," the outlet noted, adding, "It's unclear what the intention of the men was in travelling to Bondi."
