Australian PM Anthony Albanese confirmed that father-son duo Sajid and Naveed Akram, who killed 15 at Bondi Beach, were driven by Islamic State ideology, sparking debates on gun control and community safety.

Sydney Hanukkah Mass Shooting: 15 Dead in ISIS-Inspired Attack

Sydney Hanukkah Mass Shooting: ISIS Link Discovered

Australian PM Anthony Albanese confirmed that father-son duo Sajid and Naveed Akram, who killed 15 at Bondi Beach, were driven by Islamic State ideology, sparking debates on gun control and community safety.

A father and son were driven by "Islamic State ideology" when they fired on Bondi Beach in one of Australia's deadliest mass shootings, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Tuesday.
Sajid Akram and his son Naveed opened fire on Jewish crowds thronging the famous beach for Hanukkah on Sunday evening, killing 15 people and wounding dozens more.
Authorities said the attack was designed to sow panic among the nation's Jews, but have so far given little detail about the gunmen's deeper motivations.
Albanese gave one of the first hints that the pair had been radicalised by an "ideology of hate".
"It would appear that this was motivated by Islamic State ideology," Albanese told national broadcaster ABC.
"With the rise of ISIS more than a decade ago now, the world has been grappling with extremism and this hateful ideology," he said in a separate interview.
Police found a car registered to Naveed Akram parked near the beach in the aftermath of the shooting.
They found improvised bombs and "two homemade ISIS flags", New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said on Tuesday, using another name for the Islamic State group.
Authorities are facing mounting questions over whether they could have acted earlier to foil the attack.
Albanese said Naveed Akram, reportedly an unemployed bricklayer, had come to the attention of Australia's intelligence agency in 2019 but was not considered an imminent threat at the time.
"They interviewed him, they interviewed his family members, they interviewed people around him," Albanese said.
"He was not seen at that time to be a person of interest."
Police are still piecing together the duo's movements before the shooting.
A key question is whether they met with Islamist extremists on a trip to the Philippines last month, Australian media reported.
"The reasons why they went to the Philippines, and the purpose of that, and where they went, is under investigation at the moment," Lanyon told reporters on Tuesday.
Naveed reportedly told his mother on the day of the attack that he was heading out of the city on a fishing trip.
Instead, authorities believe that he was holed up in a rental apartment with his father plotting the assault.
Carrying long-barrelled guns, they peppered the beach and a nearby park with bullets for 10 minutes before police shot and killed 50-year-old Sajid.
Naveed, 24, remains in a coma in hospital under police guard.
 - Stricter gun control? -
A 10-year-old girl, a Holocaust survivor and a local rabbi were among those killed, while 42 others were rushed to hospital with gunshot wounds and other injuries.
Australia's leaders agreed on Monday to toughen laws that allowed father Sajid to own six guns.
Mass shootings have been rare in Australia since a lone gunman killed 35 people in the tourist town of Port Arthur in 1996.
The Port Arthur Massacre sparked a world-leading crackdown that included a gun buyback scheme and limits on semi-automatic weapons.
But many Australians are now questioning whether those laws are equipped to deal with online sales and a steady rise in privately owned guns.
"This horrific situation now, it does make me personally feel that they need to be stricter," David Sovyer, 43, told AFP.
Retiree Allan McRae, 75, said "not a lot of people need a gun".
"It would've reduced the possibility of it happening if more people had reduced access to a gun," he told AFP.
 - Failed to act -
The attack has also revived allegations that Australia is dragging its feet in the fight against antisemitism.
"The last four years, I was very clear. And I was very clear about the dangers of the rise in antisemitism," Israel's ambassador to Australia, Amir Maimon, said while visiting a memorial to the victims on Tuesday.
Australian Jewish Association head Robert Gregory told AFP the government had "failed to take adequate actions to protect the Jewish community".
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Australia's decision to recognise Palestinian statehood this year had poured "oil on the fire of antisemitism".
Desperate to help, Australians have lined up in their thousands to donate blood to the wounded.
Red Cross Australia said more than 7,000 people had given blood on Monday, smashing the previous national record.
A makeshift flower memorial next to Bondi Beach swelled in size on Monday evening as mourners gathered to pay tribute to the victims and mark the second day of Hanukkah.
Hundreds of mourners, including members of the Jewish community, sang songs, clapped and held each other.
Leading a ceremony to light a menorah, a rabbi told the crowd: "The only strength we have is if we bring light into the world."

England and Australia players will wear black armbands and flags at Adelaide Oval will be flown at half-staff on Wednesday in an Ashes tribute to the victims of the Bondi beach shootings.
On Sunday night, two gunmen killed 15 people and injured dozens more at the iconic beach in Sydney. Their target was members of Sydney's Jewish community celebrating the start of Hannukah in what authorities said was an antisemitic act of terrorism.
Cricket Australia and the England and Wales Cricket Board issued a joint statement saying: "All of our thoughts are with the victims, their friends and families, the Jewish community and the people of Australia at this deeply distressing time. Our condolences go out to all those affected. We stand with you.&rdquo;
Australia captain Pat Cummins said "my heart goes out to the victims, their families, the people of Bondi and our Jewish community during this time. If you can, please book an appointment to donate blood.&rdquo;
Cricket Australia said Tuesday that veteran Australian folk singer John Williamson would join tributes to the victims at the start of Wednesday's match, the third in the five-test series which Australia leads 2-0.
Williamson will perform his fabled song &ldquo;True Blue&rdquo; before play begins. Williamson will follow a moment's silence and precede the Indigenous &ldquo;Welcome to Country&rdquo; and the Australian and England anthems.
&ldquo;This is a tragic time for all Australians and the thoughts of everyone in the cricket world are with the victims of this terrible event, their families, friends and the Jewish community," Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg said in a statement Tuesday.
&ldquo;While sport can seem insignificant at times like this, we have the unusual opportunity to bring millions of people together to pay tribute, to console and to contemplate what we want our nation to be. I'm grateful John has agreed to perform True Blue' which has at its essence the ideal of Australians from all backgrounds sharing the same hopes and aspirations."

Fifteen people were killed and over 40 others injured in the attack by two gunmen on Sunday, according to Australian authorities.
Hours after the incident, Jaishankar condemned the terror attack. Condemn in the strongest terms the terror attack on Hanukkah celebrations in Bondi Beach, he said on Sunday. "Our thoughts are with the victims and their families," he said.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the attack as a "dark moment" for the country.
"This is a targeted attack on Jewish Australians on the first day of Hanukkah, which should be a day of joy, a celebration of faith," he told reporters. "At this dark moment for our nation, our police and security agencies are working to determine anyone associated with this outrage," he said.
The shooting at Bondi followed a wave of antisemitic attacks in the country. The attackers were identified as father and son duo of Sajid Akram and Naveed Akram. The father was shot dead by police while the son sustained injuries and he is undergoing treatment at a hospital.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the world leaders who condemned the attack.
"Strongly condemn the ghastly terrorist attack carried out today at Bondi Beach, Australia, targeting people celebrating the first day of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah," Modi said on X on Sunday.

Australia Proposes Stricter Gun Laws After Sydney Tragedy

Australia's Push for Enhanced Gun Laws

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has proposed stricter gun laws, including limits on firearm ownership, following a mass shooting at a Jewish festival in Sydney that killed 15 people.

Australia's prime minister proposed tougher gun laws on Monday after gunmen killed 15 people in a mass shooting targeting a Jewish festival at a Sydney beach.
The alleged attackers, a father and son, fired into crowds packing the beach for the start of Hanukkah on Sunday evening.
Police confirmed the 50-year-old father was licensed to hold six firearms, which they believed were used in the shootings.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said stricter gun laws were needed, including a limit on the number of firearms that can be owned by any one person.
"The government is prepared to take whatever action is necessary. Included in that is the need for tougher gun laws," he told reporters.
Albanese said he would take the reforms to a National Cabinet meeting with state premiers on Monday afternoon.
"People can be radicalised over a period of time. Licences should not be in perpetuity," he said.
Mass shootings have been rare in Australia since a lone gunman killed 35 people in the tourist town of Port Arthur in 1996.
The so-called "Port Arthur massacre" led to sweeping reforms that were long seen as a gold standard worldwide.
These included a gun buyback scheme, a national firearms register and a crackdown on the ownership of semi-automatic weapons.
Albanese said it was time to consider whether the country's gun laws needed to be tightened up again.
"I'm certainly up for it."

Father and son gunmen kill 15 at Jewish festival on Australia's Bondi Beach

A father and son opened fire during a Hanukkah celebration at Sydney&rsquo;s Bondi Beach, killing 15 people including a child, in what authorities called an antisemitic terror attack.

A father and son opened fire on a Jewish festival at Sydney's Bondi Beach in a shooting spree that killed 15 people including a child, authorities said Monday as they denounced the attack as antisemitic "terrorism".
The duo fired into crowds packing the beach for the start of Hanukkah on Sunday evening, sending people fleeing in panic across the tourist hotspot.
A 10-year-old girl was among the 15 dead in Australia's worst mass shooting for almost 30 years, while 42 more were rushed to hospital with gunshot wounds and other injuries.
Police are still unravelling what drove the shootings, although authorities have said the plot was clearly designed to sow terror among the nation's Jews.
"What we saw yesterday was an act of pure evil, an act of antisemitism, an act of terrorism on our shores," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Monday, before laying flowers at the Bondi Pavillion.
The gunmen targeted an annual celebration that drew more than 1,000 people to the beach to mark the Jewish festival.
They took aim from a raised boardwalk looking over the beach, which was packed with swimmers cooling off on a steamy summer evening.
Carrying long-barrelled guns, they peppered the beach with bullets for 10 minutes before police shot and killed the 50-year-old father.
The 24-year-old son was arrested and remained under guard in hospital with serious injuries.
Rabbi Mendel Kastel said his brother-in-law was among the dead.
"It's unbelievable that this has happened here in Australia, but we need to hold strong. This is not the Australia that we know. This is not the Australia that we want."
Wary of reprisals, police have so far dodged questions about the attackers' religion or ideological motivations.
"We want to get to the bottom of this. We want to understand the motives behind it," New South Wales police commissioner Mal Lanyon said on Monday.
Hours after the shooting, police found a homemade bomb in a car parked close to the beach.
They said the "improvised explosive device" had likely been planted by the pair.
 - Panic and bravery -
A brave few dashed towards the beach as the shooting unfolded, wading through fleeing crowds to rescue children, treat the injured and confront the gunmen.
Footage showed a man -- identified by local media as fruit seller Ahmed al Ahmed -- grabbing one of the gunmen as he fired.
The 43-year-old wrestles the gun out of the attacker's hand, before pointing the weapon at the assailant who backs away.
A team of off-duty lifeguards sprinted across the sand to drag children to safety.
"The team ran out under fire to try and clear children from the playground while the gunmen were firing," said Steven Pearce from Surf Life Saving New South Wales.
"They were able to get the children inside," he told AFP.
"The other lifesavers went out and started trying to do CPR on the shot victims, and tried to drag as many inside as they could."
Bleeding victims were carried across the beach atop surfboards turned into makeshift stretchers.
Frenchman Alban Baton, 23, hid for several hours in the cool room of a Bondi Beach grocery store.
"Minute after minute, we were starting to realise what was happening," he told AFP.
A grassy hill overlooking Bondi Beach was on Monday strewn with discarded items from people fleeing the killing, including a camping table and blankets.
People gathered flip flops, sneakers, and thermos flasks and lined them up in the sand for collection.
Australia mourned the dead by lowering flags to half-mast.
 - 'Oil on the fire' -
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Australia's government of "pouring oil on the fire of antisemitism" in the months leading up to the shooting.
A string of antisemitic attacks has spread fear among Jewish communities in Australia following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza.
Other world leaders expressed revulsion and condemnation, including in the United States where President Donald Trump said it was a "purely antisemitic attack".
Mass shootings have been rare in Australia since a lone gunman killed 35 people in the tourist town of Port Arthur in 1996.
The so-called "Port Arthur massacre" led to sweeping reforms but Albanese said tougher gun laws may be needed after the latest attack.
Police said the father owned six licensed firearms, which they believed were used in the shooting.
The Australian government earlier this year accused Iran of orchestrating a recent wave of antisemitic attacks, and expelled Tehran's ambassador nearly four months ago.
Tehran directed the torching of a kosher cafe in Sydney's Bondi suburb in October 2024, and a major arson attack on the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne in December 2024, the government said in August, citing intelligence findings.
The foreign ministry in Iran, which has supported the Palestinian militant group Hamas for years, denounced Sunday's "violent attack in Sydney."
In April 2024, a knife-wielding assailant killed six people at a shopping centre not far from Bondi Beach.
The killer was found to have been suffering from schizophrenia but had stopped taking his medication, and no clear motive was identified.
