The deadly shooting during a Hanukkah celebration at Australia's Bondi Beach follows a sharp rise in antisemitic attacks in the country since the Hamas-led assault on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and the ensuing war in Gaza.

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

The New South Wales police commissioner did not give the men’s names, but said the elder was 50, had licenses for six firearms, and had been killed at the scene. The son was in critical condition.

The deadly attack targeting a Jewish community event at Australia's Bondi Beach dominates the front pages of Monday's papers.

An attack at a famous Australian beach killed 16 people, including a child, officials said Monday, after two gunmen opened fire at a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
