• Authorities report that a shooting aimed at the Jewish community at Bondi Beach in Australia has resulted in the deaths of at least 11 individuals. The assault occurred as hundreds assembled to mark the initial day of Hanukkah and has been labeled a terrorist event. The victims comprise an Israeli national, as stated by the nation’s foreign ministry.
• Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese characterized the assault as “an act of evil, antisemitism, terrorism that has hit the core of our nation” and remarked that “an attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on all Australians.” Israeli officials expressed shock and outrage, with many blaming the Australian government for permitting an increase in antisemitism.
• Authorities have also verified that there are two identified suspects — one is deceased, while the other is in critical condition at the hospital. Officers have secured and confiscated explosive devices located in a nearby car.
