On 14 December 2025, a terrorist mass shooting occurred at Archer Park beside Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, in the late afternoon during a Hanukkah celebration attended by approximately one thousand people. Two gunmen shot at the crowd, killing 15 people, including a child. Police and Australian intelligence agencies declared it an Islamic State–linked terrorist incident. Numerous world leaders, news outlets and Australian authorities declared that the shooting was motivated by antisemitism.

The New South Wales Police Force killed one gunman and took the other alleged gunman, critically injured after being shot by police, into custody. The deceased gunman was the father of the surviving gunman. Forty people, including at least two police officers, were injured and taken to various hospitals. The police later found and removed two homemade bombs from a car belonging to one of the shooters. Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese said it was a deliberate attack on Jewish people during the first day of Hanukkah.

The attack is the deadliest terror incident and the second-deadliest mass shooting in modern Australian history. Mass casualty attacks are uncommon in Australia; it has strict gun laws that were enacted in response to the 1996 Port Arthur massacre.

Background

Bondi Beach is one of Australia's most popular seaside areas. It is located in Sydney's eastern suburbs; this area is known as the centre of the Jewish community of Sydney, which in turn is one of the two largest Jewish communities in Australia (the other being in Melbourne).[6] The Bondi area of Sydney had experienced recent heightened security concerns due to the unrelated Bondi Junction stabbings in April 2024.[7][8]

Australia had experienced an increase in attacks on Jewish communities and individuals since the beginning of the Gaza war in October 2023.[9][10] In August 2024, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) lifted Australia's national terrorism threat level from "possible" to "probable", citing the risk of community tensions and political violence related to the Gaza war as one of the reasons for doing so.[11][12]

At the time of the shooting, Australia had some of the strictest gun laws in the world. Assault rifles and many semiautomatic rifles were banned[13] after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre.[14] Despite this, the number of firearms in Australia, and the number of people licensed to own them, has increased since then. In New South Wales, the state where the Bondi Beach shooting took place, there were 260,000 gun licences in 2025, up from 181,000 in 2001.[15][16]

Event

The incident took place at an annual Chabad community event ("Chanukah by the Sea"), to celebrate the beginning of Hanukkah.[17][18] The event was being held at Archer Park just east of the Bondi Pavilion, with around 1,000 people in attendance.[1]

While walking along Campbell Parade through Bondi Beach, Boris and Sofia Gurman, a Russian-Jewish couple, noticed an Islamic State flag displayed on the attackers' vehicle. After the elder attacker exited the vehicle, Boris seized his gun, resulting in a struggle that Sofia joined. The attacker then retrieved another gun and shot them both dead.[19][20]

Initial videos of the mass shooting showed two men dressed in black tops firing on the crowd from a footbridge striding the carpark to the north of the Bondi Pavilion,[21][22] reportedly with a straight pull bolt action rifle and a shotgun.[23][24] Emergency services were first called to the scene at 18:47 (AEDT, UTC+11).[25] New South Wales Police released a statement at 18:57 confirming their response to an ongoing incident.[26]

The younger shooter paused and appeared to wave away bystanders approaching him from directions other than that of the Chanukah celebration, before resuming fire at the Jewish gathering.[27]

A bystander began capturing a nearly continuous 11-minute video shortly after the gunmen opened fire, filming the attackers from their left from approximately 50 metres (160 ft) away. The video captured the first police officer stepping onto the pedestrian bridge to engage the shooters, as well as wounded people being treated.[1]

The older gunman, while aiming down his sights and firing from the side of Archer Park, was briefly disarmed by an unarmed man who had been crouching between two parked cars.[28][29][30][31] He tackled the gunman from behind, seized his weapon and turned it toward him.[32] The unarmed man was later identified as Ahmed al-Ahmed, a 43-year-old father of two born in Syria.[30] The older shooter then retreated to the bridge where the younger gunman was positioned. Another man named Reuven Morrison charged the older shooter as he retreated, throwing a brick and attempting to disrupt the attack, before being shot and killed.[19][33]

Several police officers shot at the gunmen with their pistols,[34][35] including a detective who arrived and using a tree approximately 40 metres (130 ft) away as cover, fired on the gunmen from behind killing one and wounding another.[36][37] A bystander went onto the bridge and kicked away a weapon from one of the gunmen; continued fire forced him to duck, and he was briefly mistaken for an attacker by bystanders.[38]

The wounded gunman was apprehended by police and rushed to hospital in critical condition under police guard.[21][39][40] They had fired about 83 rounds, with approximately 20 additional rounds fired by police.[41]

Lifeguards from the nearby Bondi Surf Lifesaving Club rushed to the aid of the victims, some under fire, using surfboards as stretchers and depleting the club's first aid stock. They were on the scene before ambulance crews could arrive. Approximately 250 people were given shelter inside the club, including a heavily pregnant woman who went into labour during the attack.[citation needed] There was also one water rescue.[42][43]

It was the second-deadliest mass shooting in modern Australian history—behind the 1996 Port Arthur massacre[50][51][52]—and its deadliest terror incident.[53]

Initial investigation

The police commissioner of New South Wales, Mal Lanyon, designated the shooting a terrorist incident.[54] Australian intelligence officials said one of the offenders was known to them.[54] After the shooting, two rudimentary improvised explosive devices were located in the suspects' vehicle, and a third device was later located at the scene.[55][56] They were safely removed by the police bomb squad.[39][57]

Accused

According to New South Wales police commissioner Mal Lanyon, the shooters were a father and son, aged 50 and 24.[58][59] The Telangana Police reported that the father was an Indian national from Tolichowki, Hyderabad, who emigrated to Australia in 1998 on a student visa after completing a business degree in Hyderabad and marrying a woman in Australia.[60][61] Telangana Police also reported that the father had no "adverse record" prior to his emigration, and that his family in India appeared to be unaware of his "radical mindset or activities".[62] According to Australian home affairs minister Tony Burke, he transferred to a partner visa in 2001 and later obtained a resident return visa.[63] The son, born 2001, is an Australian-born citizen.[59]

The father was shot and killed by New South Wales Police at the scene of the attack; the son was hospitalised in critical condition and woke from a coma 17 December, two days later.[64] On 17 December, the son was formally charged with 59 offences by New South Wales Police, including 15 counts of murder, one count of committing a terrorist act, and 40 counts of attempted murder. He did not request bail, and his court date was set for 8 April 2026. The investigation was named Operation Arques.[65][66]

The father had a firearms licence, was a member of a shooting club and had six registered guns.[67][68][69] The son had trained at the same shooting club his father was a member of.[70][69] Three firearms were used during the attack, and a fourth was located at the scene.[68][2] The firearms used during the attack are believed to be a Beretta BRX1 straight-pull rifle and two 12-gauge Stoeger M3000 M3K shotguns.[2][3] The son had been known to intelligence officials since 2019 but was deemed "not an immediate threat".[59] As a teenager, he followed radical Islamic preacher Wissam Haddad, who was found to have violated Australia's racial hatred laws in 2025.[71][72][73] He regularly worshipped at Haddad's Bankstown prayer space, the Al Madina Dawah Centre. Videos from 2019 show him proselytising and distributing pamphlets for the Street Dawah Movement. Weeks later, police arrested several associates of the movement, including Isaac El Matari, a self-declared Australian commander of Islamic State (IS) and friend of the son. El Matari is serving a seven-year sentence for plotting an insurgency and attempting to acquire firearms. Another associate, Radwan Dakkak, received 18 months for IS membership and distributing propaganda. Despite these connections, authorities concluded the son was not a high-risk member of this network.[74] Police said both gunmen had pledged allegiance to IS,[59][75][76] and two IS flags were found in their car.[77][78]

Following a police raid on a property in Bonnyrigg, a man and a woman were taken into custody.[79] Police also raided a Campsie home where the pair were believed to have been staying prior to the attack.[58] The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the pair had told family members they were going on a fishing trip to Jervis Bay.[58] Investigators were looking into a trip the two suspects made to the Philippines a month before the attack, to see whether they received military training there.[80][81] According to Filipino officials, the men travelled to Manila on 1 November, the father on an Indian passport and the son on an Australian one, and then headed south to Davao City, Mindanao, where an IS insurgency is ongoing.[82] According to local police and staff, they spent their entire 28-day stay in Davao City, rarely leaving their hotel room and then for only an hour or so at a time, and receiving no visitors, before departing on 28 November.[83][84] Per hotel staff, they had initially booked a 7-day stay, but repeatedly extended it.[83]

Aftermath

Following the shooting, Queensland police increased their security presence at Jewish places of worship.[85] Across Australia and New Zealand, Jewish events were cancelled due to the security risks from terror threats, after already having had to cancel many public events in recent years due to the high risk of attacks.[86][87][85] In response to the attack, Victorian premier Jacinta Allan increased funding for security services for Jewish spaces.[88] After a Lifeblood request for O-negative blood donations, over 50,000 people volunteered to donate blood.[89]

Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese described the shooting as "shocking and distressing" and called it a "targeted attack on Jewish Australians on the first day of Hanukkah" and "an act of pure evil, an act of antisemitism and terrorism on our shores".[54][39][53][90] Albanese vowed to advocate for stricter gun laws following the attack.[59] Australia's head of state King Charles III said he and Queen Camilla were "appalled and saddened by the most dreadful antisemitic terrorist attack on Jewish people".[91] The minister for home affairs, Tony Burke, called the shooting an "appalling act of violence".[92]

The Premier of New South Wales, Chris Minns, said "the reports and images coming out of Bondi tonight are deeply distressing" and encouraged people to follow the directions of police.[39] Additionally, he referred to the man who intervened and was later wounded, Ahmed al-Ahmed,[31] as a "real-life hero" in a visit to his hospital room. Albanese shared these sentiments in his own visit.[31] After the attack, Ahmed al-Ahmed received over $1.3 million in donations from a GoFundMe in its first day, with the largest donation coming from the American Jewish billionaire Bill Ackman, who donated A$99,999 (~US$66,000), calling him the "Bondi hero".[93]

On the day following the shooting, the National Cabinet unanimously agreed to strengthen gun laws. Proposals brought forward during the meeting included restricting firearm ownership to Australian citizens only, accelerating the launch of a national firearms register, limiting the number of firearms a single person can own, and further restricting the types of legal weapons.[94] The NSW Parliament was recalled to debate the state's proposed reforms before Christmas.[95]

The CEO of the Australian Jewish Association, Robert Gregory, said: "This is an attack on the Jewish community that deeply pains us as a community".[96][97] The president of the Zionist Federation of Australia, Jeremy Leibler, said: "An attack on Jews celebrating their faith is an attack on Australia itself. It is an assault on our values, our social cohesion, and the basic right of people to gather without fear".[98] The Australian National Imams Council also condemned the shooting, saying: "This is a moment for all Australians, including the Australian Muslim community, to stand together in unity, compassion, and solidarity, rejecting violence in all its forms and affirming our shared commitment to social harmony and the safety of all Australians".[92] Muslim leaders in Sydney refused to perform funeral rites or receive the deceased gunman's body, condemning the shooting as a "barbaric, criminal, and terrorist act".[99][better source needed] The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network condemned the attack and said "perpetrators of this horrendous attack do not represent our movement or the values we uphold".[100]

In other areas of Sydney, Jewish community infrastructure such as synagogues and schools were closed on 15 December.[101]

International

The attack was widely condemned internationally. Press statements were disseminated by the New Zealand prime minister, Christopher Luxon,[102] and armed police in New Zealand were deployed on 15 December to guard Jewish sites across the country, including the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand and Kadimah School.[103]

Indian prime minister Narendra Modi condemned the attack, adding that "India has zero tolerance towards terrorism and supports the fight against all forms and manifestations of terrorism".[104] Further press statements were disseminated by UK prime minister Keir Starmer[91][105] and US president Donald Trump.[106] French president Emmanuel Macron expressed "deep sadness" at the death of a French citizen.[107][108]

Additionally, many international leaders spoke in support of the bystander who intervened, praising his bravery and specifying him as an exemplar of the Islamic faith. These leaders included Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[109] However, Netanyahu went on to blame the Albanese government for "pouring fuel on this antisemitic fire" as a result of policies such as the recognition of Palestine that September.[105] Albanese later rejected the accusations.[110]

Iranian state media made multiple different statements regarding the massacre. The Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a condemnation of the shooting,[111] whilst Tasnim News Agency and Sabereen News praised the killings.[a] Other outlets such as Mehr News Agency accused the attack of being a false flag operation by Israel, a claim also promoted by IRGC military officer Mohammad Reza Naghdi.[113]

In the Philippines, the country's National Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Immigration and the Armed Forces of the Philippines are investigating the claim that the shooting suspects went to Mindanao prior to the attack.[114] The Office of the President strongly rejected the characterization of the Philippines as an "ISIS training ground".[115] However, during the investigation, the hotel where the suspects stayed reported that they had no recorded visitors and rarely left the premises during their month-long stay in the Philippines.[116]

The attack was also widely condemned across the Islamic world, with several countries voicing strong disapproval.[117]

IS has been using the massacre as propaganda, according to SITE Intelligence.[118]
