"NSW premier Chris Minns said at least 12 people were killed in what he described as a targeted terrorist attack on Sydney's Jewish community. Minns said one of the offenders had also been killed, and another was in custody, after what he described as a "horrifying, evil attack." "This attack was designed to target Sydney's Jewish community on the first day of Hanukkah," he said."
""What should have been a night of peace and joy celebrated in that community with families and supporters has been shattered." The premier said his thoughts were with Jewish Australians. "Our heart bleeds for Australia's Jewish community tonight," he said. "I can only imagine the pain that they're feeling right now to see their loved ones killed as they celebrate this ancient holiday.""
A mass shooting at Bondi Beach targeted a Jewish Hanukkah celebration on December 14, killing at least 12 people and injuring 29. Around 1,000 people, including families with children, were present. One suspect was killed and another detained; police have declared the incident a terrorist attack. Two gunmen were seen firing from a bridge near a carpark. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese characterized the attack as an act of evil antisemitism. New South Wales premier Chris Minns called the assault a targeted, horrifying attack that shattered a night of peace and joy and expressed sympathy for Jewish Australians.
