On Sunday evening in Bondi Beach, Australia, a father and son opened fire on an annual Hanukkah celebration, causing panic and what authorities are calling the worst mass shooting in the country in nearly three decades. The two gunmen, aged 50 and 24, positioned themselves on a footbridge overlooking the party and fired repeatedly into the crowd, who initially mistook the gunshots for firecrackers. Witnesses described the shooters reloading multiple weapons and carrying a large amount of ammunition. Police raided two homes connected to the men, who authorities say targeted the Jewish community amidst rising antisemitism in Australia. While the younger man had been on the authorities’ radar since 2019, there was no indication of an imminent threat. The motive for the shooting remains unclear.
