A terrorist shooting targeted a Hanukkah celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens during the first night of the Jewish holiday, according to Australian authorities and multiple news outlets. A bystander tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen, an act officials and world leaders say likely saved lives. The attack has been widely described as antisemitic amid a sharp rise in anti-Jewish incidents in Australia since late 2023.
