The mass shooting took place amid a public Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, attended by civilians including families and children. Australian authorities have classified the incident as a serious security threat and immediately heightened security measures at public venues nationwide.
Australian police confirmed that two suspects, aged 50 and 24, identified as father and son, were involved in the attack. The 50-year-old suspect was killed at the scene, while the 24-year-old remains in critical condition but is reported to be stabilising following intensive medical treatment.
