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.

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.

There has been frustration among Sydney’s Jewish community that authorities haven’t heeded warnings about a rise in antisemitism.

Australia's prime minister said the suspects in the shooting at the Hanukkah event were “motivated by Islamic State ideology.” They had traveled to the Philippines before the attack, officials said.

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

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.

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

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,

Among the 34,000 donors to the GoFundMe campaign so far are several who said in notes that they were Jewish and explained why they donated unusual sums, in multiples of $18.
