Two gunmen opened fire at a Hanukkah festival in Sydney, killing multiple generations; 1,654 antisemitic attacks were reported in Australia last year, officials said.
- On Sunday, Australia's deadliest mass shooting in almost 30 years targeted Jewish families at a Hanukkah community family festival on Bondi Beach, Sydney, home to around 120,000 Jews.

- Compared with past massacres, the scale of killings recalls the 1996 Port Arthur massacre; the Albanese government balances community safety while ASIO's Director-General Mike Burgess cautions against blaming Iran for every attack despite August's ambassador expulsion.
