Sajid Akram and Naveed Akram appear to have opened fire at a public Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach in an attack investigators now treat as motivated by Islamic State ideology, killing 15 people and wounding dozens before police shot Sajid and hospitalised Naveed in a coma under guard. Forensic teams recovered six legally owned firearms registered to Sajid, improvised explosive devices were found in and near linked vehicles, and Australian Security Intelligence Organisation officials said they assessed contact involving Naveed in 2019 but saw no imminent threat then, prompting investigators to examine past threat assessments, overseas travel and a reported recent trip to the Philippines. A widely shared video shows Ahmed al Ahmed wrestling a rifle away from a shooter before being shot and undergoing surgery at St. George Hospital; fundraising has raised more than A$1.1 million for victims and rescuers, calls for reforms to firearms licensing are under consideration, and Israeli Ambassador Amir Maimon and other officials have paid respects as communities hold vigils and increase security.
