Senior Director at the Counter-Extremism Project Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler told 9News.com.au the terror group has not yet regained its 2002-era prominence.
"There has been a steady trickle of terrorist incidents for which JI is reported to be responsible," Dr Schindler said.
"While JI of old was attacking primarily government and security forces as well as Western targets, some of the newer JI networks seem to have learned a lesson from ISIS and are now also targeting religious and ethnic minorities in Indonesia in an apparent attempt to cause societal discord."

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
