Live Updates: Sydney Gunmen Were Motivated by ISIS, Australia’s Leader Says
AI Summary
On Sunday evening in Bondi Beach, Sydney, a father and son opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration, causing panic and what is being called the worst mass shooting in Australia in nearly three decades. The gunmen, aged 50 and 24, used long-barrel guns from an elevated footbridge overlooking the party. Authorities raided two homes connected to the men and are investigating the motive behind the attack, though the Prime Minister stated the gunmen were motivated by ISIS. The younger man had been known to authorities since 2019, but was not considered a threat. The shooting has heightened concerns about rising antisemitism in Australia, as the gunmen specifically targeted the Jewish community.
