Ahmed al Ahmed, an Australian immigrant, was seriously wounded after tackling a gunman during a deadly antisemitic terror attack in Sydney, Australia on Sunday, which killed at least 15 people. According to his lawyer, Sam Issa, Ahmed, a 44-year-old father of two who immigrated from Syria in 2006 and became a citizen in 2022, is "riddled with bullets" but does not regret his actions and would do it again. Despite his injuries, Ahmed, who is Muslim, acted out of a sense of duty to his community and gratitude for being an Australian citizen. The attack, which occurred on the first day of Hanukkah, has been condemned by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as an act of antisemitism and terrorism.
