shares a short video clip purporting to show the moment a plainclothes Sydney detective, armed only with a handgun and no body armor, engages and eliminates one of the terrorists during the Bondi Beach attack.Background on the IncidentOn December 14, 2025, a terrorist mass shooting occurred at Archer Park near Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, during a large Hanukkah celebration ("Chanukah by the Sea") organized by Chabad of Bondi, attended by around 1,000 people. Two gunmen—a father and son, Sajid Akram (50) and Naveed Akram (24)—opened fire on the crowd, killing at least 15 people (including children and Rabbi Eli Schlanger) and injuring dozens more. Authorities declared it a terrorist incident targeting the Jewish community, inspired by Islamic State (IS/ISIS) ideology. Sajid was shot dead by police; Naveed was critically injured and arrested.This is Australia's deadliest mass shooting since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre and its worst terror attack. The attackers used legally obtained firearms, had traveled to the Philippines in November 2025 (possibly for training), and left IS flags and improvised explosives in their vehicle.About the Video and PostThe clip in the post shows a man in plain clothes (described as a detective) running and firing a handgun toward an armed individual in the distance on the beach/promenade area. However, replies to the post raise doubts: some say the shots missed, no terrorist is visibly neutralized in the footage, and it may not show the actual elimination. Other footage from the incident highlights heroes like bystander Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one gunman despite being shot.The post praises the detective's bravery, framing it as a "good guy with a gun" moment. Replies spark debate on Australia's strict gun laws, with critics arguing armed civilians could have responded faster, while others note police eventually stopped the threat despite delays.The event has led to calls for even tighter gun controls in Australia and heightened global security for Jewish communities during Hanukkah.
