Police said the attack was targeted at the Jewish community and was officially classified as a terrorist attack.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> This is reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/world\/live-news\/bondi-beach-gunshots-reported-12-14-25\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CNN<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p> The shooting occurred in the evening in the Archer Park area near Bondi Beach, where more than 1,000 people had gathered for the &#8220;Chanukah by the Sea&#8221; holiday event, organized by the Jewish community Chabad of Bondi. The event was dedicated to the first day of Hanukkah and had a family format.<\/p>\n<p> According to New South Wales Police, the attackers opened fire on those attending the event. Numerous police and emergency services units were on the scene, the area was cordoned off, and people were urged to stay in cover.<\/p>\n<p> New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said two suspects were known to have been shot dead at the scene, while the other was in critical condition in hospital. Police also found improvised explosive devices in a car linked to one of the attackers, which were later defused by bomb squads. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/telegram.org\/js\/telegram-widget.js?22\" data-telegram-post=\"Tsaplienko\/84845\" data-width=\"100%\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p> After analyzing the circumstances of the attack, police officially declared the event a terrorist incident. The decision was made taking into account the date of the attack, the nature of the event, the type of weapon and objects found at the crime scene.<\/p>\n<p> Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has issued a statement to the country&#8217;s Jewish community.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Your fellow Australians stand with you today and strongly condemn this act of terror,&#8221; said Anthony Albanese.<\/p>\n<p> He stressed that the attack was aimed at intimidation, but Australia would not succumb to violence and hatred.<\/p>\n<p> The Prime Minister also said that the attack was a manifestation of anti-Semitism and terrorism that struck at the very core of Australian society.<\/p>\n<p> New South Wales Premier Chris Minns confirmed that the shooting was deliberately targeted against the Jewish community.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;It was supposed to be a night of peace and joy, but it was shattered by this horrific and evil attack,&#8221; said Chris Minns.<\/p>\n<p> He also praised the actions of a bystander who tried to neutralize one of the attackers, calling him a hero and saying his action saved many lives.<\/p>\n<p> Alexander Rivchin, a spokesman for the Executive Council of Jewish Australia, said a 12-year-old girl and a rabbi were among the dead. He said the event was an annual event for the community and was usually held in a festive and safe atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p> Israeli officials reacted sharply to the incident, with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar saying Australia must take strong action against anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The security of the Jewish community can only be ensured through a genuine change in the social atmosphere,&#8221; said Gideon Saar.<\/p>\n<p> He also linked the attack to the rise of anti-Semitism in the country after the events of October 7 and stated that public calls for violence ultimately lead to such tragedies.<\/p>\n<p> Following the shooting, law enforcement agencies in various countries around the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, have increased security measures at public events marking Hanukkah.<\/p>\n<p> The investigation into the Sydney attack is ongoing.
