Hundreds of mourners have gathered in Sydney to begin funerals for the victims of an antisemitic mass shooting

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.

Australian leaders have promised to immediately overhaul already-tough gun control laws after a mass shooting targeted a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

Police and local media reports said the shooting began while some people were attending a Hanukkah party on the beach. At least 40 people were hospitalized.

SYDNEY (AP) — A father and son are suspected by officials to have killed 15 people on a popular Australian beach, shocking a country where gun violence is rare. The government on Monday, a day after the shootings, proposed tougher new gun laws amid criticism that officials didn’t take seriously enough a string of antisemitic attacks.

A bystander, identified by 7NEWS Australia as Ahmed al Ahmed, seen disarming a gunman at Sydney's Bondi Beach during a Hanukkah event is being heralded as a hero.

The suspected gunmen who attacked a Jewish gathering on Bondi Beach were of Indian heritage and inspired by ISIS, officials say.

A Holocaust survivor, a 10-year-old and a Chabad rabbi were among the 15 people killed when two gunmen opened fire on a Hanukkah event at Australia's Bondi Beach on Sunday. Hundreds of people had gathered to mark the first day of the Jewish festival before the attackers struck at the event in Sydney.

Members of the Jewish community across the world woke up Sunday to yet another fatal attack — something that has become all too common for those of the faith.
