US EditionInternet-Fuelled Extremism Behind Rise in 'Lone Wolf' Terrorism, Experts Say After Bondi Shooting
Authorities charged the surviving suspect with murder and terrorism after 15 were killed and over 40 injured in an ISIS-inspired attack on a Hanukkah event.
- On December 14th, two gunmen opened fire at a first-night Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, killing 15 and injuring more than 40.
- Investigators say Islamic State propaganda inspired the attack, and police found two homemade IS flags matching IS instructions in the gunmen's car.
- Terrorism experts warned lone-wolf attack methods require little funding, target vulnerable open-air crowds, and could fuel more extremist plots as holiday gatherings and European Christmas markets approach.
- Authorities announced charges against the surviving suspect, including murder and terrorism offences, while Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, rebuked Anthony Albanese, Australian Prime Minister, who rejected the claims as baseless and dangerous.
- Media outlets and commentators warned that linking the attack to `globalize the intifada` politicised the massacre amid rising antisemitic attacks since October 7, 2023, complicating Jewish and pro-Palestine public debates.
