Fifteen people, aged between 10 and 87, were killed in a terror attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney's Bondi Beach on 14 December 2025. The shooting, carried out by two gunmen, is the worst mass shooting in Australia since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre.
Among the victims were Holocaust survivors, dedicated community volunteers, faith leaders, and individuals who attempted to stop the attack. The celebration was marking the first day of Hanukkah when the gunmen opened fire.
Dozens more were wounded, including two police officers. The victims' lives have been commemorated with brief summaries highlighting their contributions to the community.
Support services are available in Australia via Beyond Blue, Lifeline, and Griefline, and internationally through organisations such as Mind in the UK and Befrienders Worldwide.
