Canadian politicians, community groups share support after Australia Hannukah attack

Two gunmen opened fire at a Bondi Beach Hanukkah event, killing at least 15 and injuring 38 in what officials call an antisemitic terrorist attack.

  • On Sunday, two alleged gunmen, a father-and-son team, opened fire at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, Sydney, killing at least 15 people.
  • After October 7, 2023, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry tallied more than 3,700 anti-Jewish incidents, while ASIO linked prior arson attacks to Iran, prompting diplomatic expulsions earlier this year.
  • Authorities reported the gunmen fired from the bridge near Bondi Pavilion for over five minutes, with a good Samaritan disarming a shooter and police killing one about 12 minutes after the attack started.
  • Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the attack was antisemitic terrorism, visited the site Monday, laid flowers, and global cities beefed up Hanukkah security affecting Australia's Jewish population of about 117,000.
  • Investigators face questions about foreign links as Oded Ailam said, 'Everything points to this being a preplanned attack that was planned for a significant amount of time,' with a coronial inquest recording 16 deaths on Monday.
