Alleged Bondi Beach gunman to be charged soon, Australia PM says, as funerals of victims begin
One of two men suspected of carrying out Australia's deadliest mass shooting in three decades will be charged later on Wednesday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, as the funerals of the Jewish victims of Sunday's attack began.
Australia's prime minister said the suspects in the shooting at the Hanukkah event were “motivated by Islamic State ideology.” They had traveled to the Philippines before the attack, officials said.
Sunday marked the first night of Hannukah, and to celebrate, more than 1,000 people gathered at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, some dancing and banging drums. Others were swimming in the ocean.
The victims of the mass shooting at Bondi Beach, Australia, shooting have begun to be identified. Here's what we know about them.
People of all ages had been looking forward to celebrating — especially this year, as a ceasefire in Gaza has held since October and all but one of the hostages taken by Hamas-led militants have been returned.
