US EditionA Balm of Heroism and Truth for Australia
Fifteen people died and about 40 were wounded in an antisemitic attack during a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach, with a passerby disarming one attacker.
- On Sunday, December 14, two suspected attackers opened fire at a Hanukkah 'Hanukkah by the Sea' event at Bondi Beach, turning a celebration into a bloodbath.
- Amid rising antisemitic incidents in Australia, the attack was described as beyond doubt the worst massacre, linked to antisemitism increase over the past two years despite an official tasked with combating antisemitism, and observers connected it to October 7 regional tensions.
- At about 6:40 pm two alleged gunmen parked about 15 metres from an elevated stone footbridge and fired on the crowd from about 50 metres for about 10 to 20 minutes, forcing people to flee.
- At least 15 people were killed, including a 10-year-old girl, and another 40 wounded, including two police officers, as impromptu memorials formed at Bondi Pavilion on December 15.
- Australian police said the suspected attackers were a father and son, Naveed Akram and his father, Sajid Akram, while authorities noted a 2019 investigation of the son linked to an Islamic State leader; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu connected the violence to Australia's Palestine recognition.
