Bondi Beach Terror Attack: 15 Killed in Targeting of Jewish Community

A shocking terrorist attack targeted Australia’s Jewish community gathered to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach, Sydney, on Sunday, December 14.

The shooting resulted in the deaths of at least 15 people, with 40 others hospitalized. One of the victims was a Holocaust survivor who reportedly died while shielding his wife from the bullets.

Police have declared the incident a terror attack. The suspects were identified as a father-son duo:

• The 50-year-old father was shot and killed by police at the scene.
• The 24-year-old son remains in critical but stable condition and is likely to face criminal charges.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) head confirmed that one of the suspects was known to the agency, though not considered an “immediate threat.” Australian leader Anthony Albanese condemned the shooting as “an act of pure evil.” The tragedy has drawn strong international reactions and condemnations.
