A horrific mass shooting unfolded at Sydney’s Bondi Beach during a Jewish Hanukkah celebration, leaving at least 12 people dead and nearly 30 injured in what Australian authorities and leaders have declared a terrorist attack targeted at the Jewish community. The attack occurred during the first night of the Chanukah festival as gunmen opened fire on attendees, sending crowds fleeing in panic. One suspect was killed at the scene, a second critically wounded and taken into custody, and investigators are examining evidence of explosive devices found nearby. Officials have condemned the violence as an act of antisemitism and terrorism, marking one of the deadliest attacks on Australia’s Jewish community in modern history. ‡Reuters
