In a harrowing incident at Bondi Beach, a shooting that left 15 individuals dead, including a young girl aged just 10, has been labeled a terror attack by New South Wales Police. The victims ranged in age from 10 to 87, all of whom were attending an event to celebrate the start of Hanukkah. This tragic event marks a shocking escalation of violence against the Jewish community, particularly during such a significant religious observance.
Authorities have identified the assailants as a father-son duo, with the older man, aged 50, dying at the scene, while his 24-year-old son is now in critical condition in the hospital. The details surrounding their motivations remain under investigation, but the targeted nature of the attack has prompted a national conversation about safety and security for minority communities in Australia.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the shooting, calling it an “act of pure evil” that was aimed deliberately at the Jewish community. The incident has not only devastated families but has also sparked widespread outrage and mourning across the nation, as people come together to support those affected and denounce the violence that has marred this festive occasion.
