shows a video captured from inside the Icebergs Dining Room and Bar at Bondi Beach, Sydney. It depicts a group of young Australians partying and enjoying themselves when chaos suddenly erupts outside: people fleeing in panic, screams, and audible gunshots. The footage captures the shocking transition from celebration to terror as partygoers realize a deadly attack is unfolding right outside.
What Happened:On December 14, 2025, during the first night of Hanukkah, a public "Chanukah by the Sea" event organized by Chabad of Bondi was held near Archer Park at Bondi Beach. Around 1,000 people, including families and children, were gathered for the menorah lighting and festivities.Two gunmen—a father-and-son duo, Sajid Akram (50, Pakistani-origin, licensed firearm owner) and Naveed Akram (24, Australian-born)—opened fire from a nearby footbridge and area overlooking the crowd. The attack lasted several minutes, with the shooters using long guns and firing dozens of rounds.
  • Casualties: At least 15 people were killed (including a 10-year-old girl, rabbis, a Holocaust survivor, and others), and dozens more injured (over 40, some critically).
  • One attacker (Sajid) was killed by police; the other (Naveed) was critically wounded and is in hospital under guard.
  • Authorities recovered an ISIS flag, improvised explosive devices, and multiple firearms linked to the suspects.
  • The attack has been declared a terrorist incident motivated by antisemitism and inspired by Islamic State (ISIS) ideology. Naveed had prior scrutiny by Australian intelligence (ASIO) in 2019 over ties to an ISIS-linked cell, but no ongoing threat was assessed at the time. The pair reportedly traveled to the southern Philippines (a known militant area) weeks before the attack.
Broader Impact:This is Australia's deadliest mass shooting since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre and its worst terrorist attack. It has sparked national mourning, vigils across cities, and calls for stricter gun laws (despite Australia's already tight regulations). Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned it as an "act of pure evil" and antisemitic terrorism. International leaders, including from Israel, the US, and Europe, expressed solidarity.A bystander, Ahmed al-Ahmed (a Muslim man), heroically tackled and disarmed one gunman, likely saving lives (he was injured but is recovering).The video shared by Visegrád 24 symbolizes the abrupt shattering of normalcy, turning a joyful summer evening into tragedy. It has gone viral as a stark reminder of the attack's horror.
