At Least 12 Dead in Terrorist Attack on Jewish Hanukkah Event at Bondi Beach
The attack targeted a crowd of over 1,000 at a Hanukkah event, killing 12 and injuring at least 12, amid rising antisemitic incidents linked to the Israel-Gaza conflict.
- Sunday evening in Bondi Beach saw a mass shooting at Archer Park when two individuals opened fire at about 6.47pm, killing at least 12 people.
- On the first day of Hanukkah, authorities say the attack targeted Sydney's Jewish community, and the force declared it a terrorist incident during response.
- Shortly after the shooting, police located a vehicle on Campbell Parade believed to contain several improvised explosive devices and deployed a rescue bomb disposal unit while moving 29 people to hospitals, including two officers.
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the attack an act of evil and antisemitic terrorism, while UK officials and the Community Security Trust offered consular support and increased local policing.
- Officials asked communities to remain calm and vigilant while investigations continue, with well over a thousand people at the event and NSW Police urging the public to avoid the area or shelter.
