A shooting occurred on a beach in Australia

On December 14, a shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, killed more than 10 people and injured about 40 others. One of the attackers was shot dead, the second was captured, and the third surrendered to police. The death toll is expected to rise. Netanyahu criticized the country's prime minister for the attack on civilians, saying he had urged him to take action "against the growing anti-Semitism in the country." Ahmed al-Ahmad, a fruit shop owner who grabbed one of the attackers' weapons, was shot twice during the attack and is currently being treated in hospital. American billionaire Bill Ekman donated about $100,000 to support Ahmed al-Ahmad.
