Bondi Beach, New South Wales, Australia. Eleven people were killed and at least 28 injured in a shooting on Sunday evening, while more than 1,000 people were attending an event celebrating the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Police later declared the attack a terrorist attack targeting the Jewish community. A “hero” among the bystanders, filmed snatching a gun from one of the Bondi Beach attackers, was identified as 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed. Video shows Mr. Ahmed running toward the gunman and grabbing his weapon before pointing it at him, forcing him to retreat. Mr. Ahmed, a greengrocer owner and father of two, was later taken to hospital, where he underwent surgery for gunshot wounds to his arm and hand.
