BREAKING: 🔴 At least seven people, including a police officer, have been shot at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.

 


The X post from @Osint613 reports a mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, during a Hanukkah celebration organized by Chabad. The attached video captures chaotic scenes of people fleeing in panic amid gunfire.

### Key Details from Official Reports (as of December 14, 2025): - **Casualties**: At least 12 people killed (including one gunman shot by police), and up to 29 injured (including two police officers). Earlier reports varied between 10-12 deaths, but Australian authorities (NSW Police and Premier Chris Minns) confirm 12 fatalities. - **Incident**: Two gunmen opened fire on a crowded family event marking the first night of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach Park/Archer Park. The attack lasted several minutes, with dozens of shots fired. - **Classification**: Declared a terrorist incident by NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon, explicitly targeted at the Jewish community. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns described it as a deliberate attack on Jewish Australians during a joyous occasion. - **Suspects**: One gunman killed by police; the second in critical condition or custody (reports vary). One identified as Naveed Akram from Sydney's southwest (per law enforcement sources). A vehicle linked to the attackers contained suspected improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which were neutralized—no detonations occurred. - **Heroic Actions**: Videos show a civilian (described as an elderly man) disarming one gunman, praised as a "genuine hero" by officials. - **Context**: Australia has strict gun laws, making mass shootings extremely rare. The event drew around 2,000 people. Among victims: Chabad emissary Rabbi Eli Schlanger. The attack has been widely condemned internationally, including by Israeli leaders (calling it antisemitic terrorism) and figures like Indian PM Narendra Modi. Muslim community groups in Australia have also denounced it. Sources include Reuters, ABC News Australia, The New York Times, BBC, Haaretz, and NSW Police statements. The situation remains under investigation, with no ongoing threat reported.
