Bondi Beach Hanukkah attack turns a holiday crowd into a terror crime scene

Force in Play

Leading the Bondi attack investigation under Operation Arques

A month has passed since a father and son opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, turning Australia's most iconic shoreline into the site of its deadliest terror attack. Fifteen civilians diedโ€”among them a Holocaust survivor, two rabbis, and a 10-year-old girl. The assault was deliberate, ideological, and inspired by Islamic State, according to police and intelligence agencies. One gunman was killed by police; the other now faces 59 criminal charges including terrorism and murder.
