On December 14, 2025 multiple gunshots were reported at Sydney's Bondi Beach during a Jewish gathering marking the first day of Hanukkah. New South Wales police declared a developing incident, urged people to avoid the area, follow directions, and take shelter if nearby. Videos showed people scattering and police sirens; another video showed two men pinned to the ground while officers appeared to attempt resuscitation. Police reportedly shot one suspected shooter and detained another, though those details were not confirmed. Alex Ryvchin of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry said his media adviser was wounded and described the attack as horrific.
