Australia’s deadliest mass shooting in almost 30 years targeted Jewish families on Sydney’s Bondi Beach, one of the country’s most iconic locations, on one of the most festive days of the Jewish calendar.

Australia's prime minister said the suspects in the shooting at the Hanukkah event were “clearly” motivated by extremist ideology.

Sacramento's Jewish community gathered at the state Capitol to mark the second night of Hanukkah, while mourning the lives lost in Sunday's terror attack at Bondi Beach.

Many people who knew the victims of Sunday's attack in Australia hope for a better future, but admit that can't come without acknowledging that words of hatred can lead to violence.

Jewish leader says government ignored warnings before deadly Bondi Beach terror attack at Hanukkah event killed 15. "We warned them this would happen."

The alleged perpetrators of a terror attack on a Jewish event in Sydney on Sunday night were inspired by Isis and had travelled to the Philippines last month, according to Australian authorities.

At least 15 people were killed at a Jewish gathering on Australia's Bondi Beach, according to Australian government officials and police. One of two gunmen was also dead.

As the second night of Hannukah began in Sydney, Australia, the scene of Sunday's shooting was the site of another gathering.

Among the 15 victims of a mass shooting at Australia's Bondi Beach targeting an event for the Jewish festival of Hanukkah on Sunday were a rabbi who was a father of five, a Holocaust survivor, and a 10-year-old girl,

Sheina Gutnick's dad came to Australia to escape persecution for his Jewish faith, and his murder in Bondi has left her feeling "betrayed by the government."

Once again, Jewish people were targeted and attacked on a major religious holiday, marking the latest escalation in an antisemitism epidemic.

Chabad-Lubavitch Headquarter's Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky says the Bondi Beach shooting reflects Australia's tolerance of escalating antisemitic violence.
