Bondi Beach shooting motivated by Islamic State ideology, Australia PM says
A father and son killed 15 and wounded over 40 at a Sydney Hanukkah festival, with evidence pointing to Islamic State motives and recent travel to the Philippines, officials said.
- During Hanukkah, Sajid Akram and his son Naveed opened fire at Bondi Beach on Sunday, killing 15 and wounding dozens, authorities say.
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the attack appeared motivated by Islamic State ideology, ASIO probed Naveed Akram for six months in 2019, and authorities say the pair travelled to the Philippines in November for training.
- Investigators recovered Islamic State flags and alleged IEDs from the attackers' vehicle, seized firearms during raids, and Sajid was shot dead while Naveed was hospitalised under guard.
- Australia's leaders moved to tighten gun laws that allowed Sajid Akram to own six firearms, while Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met Ahmed al Ahmed on December 16 amid questions on prevention.
- The attack has reignited debate over antisemitism, with 1,654 reports to October 1, 2025, while ASIO's prior contact with Naveed and Mossad warnings to Australia raised intelligence questions.

‘Where’s the Humanity?’ Bondi Attack Leaves Suspects’ Neighborhood Stunned
Bonnyrigg, a small, western suburb of Sydney, has fewer than 10,000 people, and dozens of cultures among them: There’s a mosque, four Buddhist temples and three churches all within a mile radius.
