Under scrutiny for missing warning signs

Two gunmen opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach on December 14, 2025, killing 15 people including a 10-year-old child. It was the deadliest terror attack in Australian history and the worst antisemitic massacre worldwide since Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023. The father-son ISIS sympathizers had traveled to the southern Philippines for military training weeks before the attack. Surviving attacker Naveed Akram, 24, now faces 59 charges including 15 counts of murder from his cell in Goulburn Supermax.
