A 10-year-old girl, a Holocaust survivor and a young French national were among at least 15 people killed when two gunmen opened fire on families celebrating the first night of Hanukkah at Sydney’s famed Bondi Beach on Sunday,

Among the 15 victims of a mass shooting at Australia's Bondi Beach targeting an event for the Jewish festival of Hanukkah were a couple who tried to thwart the attack, and others who died shielding friends and family,

Sydney’s devastated Jewish community gathered for the funeral of “Matilda Bee,” an ebullient, smiling 10-year-old girl.

The first funerals for some of the 15 people killed in Australia’s worst mass shooting in almost three decades took place on Wednesday as police brought murder and terror charges against one of the alleged gunmen.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the government will seek to introduce legislation that makes it easier to charge people promoting hate speech and violence.

The suspect in the Bondi Beach terror attack is charged in a hospital after waking from a coma, as Sydney's Jewish community mourns "our 7th of October."

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.

The Australian authorities said the 24-year-old man, who had been shot by the police, woke from a coma on Tuesday afternoon.

Philippines authorities reveal details about accused Bondi Beach gunmen's month-long stay in Davao City, pushing back against terrorism training claims.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who disarmed one of the gunmen involved in the mass shooting at an Australian Hanukkah event, is still recovering. He underwent "a very complex operation,” and is expected to undergo another eight-hour surgery later this week,
