US EditionBondi shooting death toll rises to 16, including a child, after gunmen targeted Australia's Jewish community
Two gunmen killed 16 and injured dozens at a Hanukkah event, with victims including children and a Holocaust survivor, in an attack police say was planned for months.
- On Sunday at about 6.40pm, Sajid and Naveed Akram opened fire at a Hanukkah festival in Archer Park/Bondi Junction, killing at least fifteen and injuring 42.
- Police said early indications pointed to the attackers being inspired by IS, probing a Philippines trip last month and noting Naveed Akram's years-ago ISIS links.
- Authorities seized three firearms, two active explosive devices and two homemade Islamic State flags on Monday, while a civilian, Ahmed al‑Ahmed, disarmed one gunman and two NSW Police officers were wounded.
- A NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team launched a full investigation and officials said they will increase officers in Jewish communities while public fundraising surpassed 1.1 million Australian dollars.
- The Executive Council of Australian Jewry reported that antisemitic acts increased 316% to 2,062 incidents, amid heightened tensions from pro‑Palestine protests at Bondi Beach.
