12 killed in armed attack in Sydney
Canberra, December 14 (Hibya) – Twelve people were killed in an armed attack that took place at Bondi Beach in the Australian city of Sydney.
According to The Guardian, at least 12 people were killed in the terrorist attack carried out at Bondi Beach in Sydney. Dozens of shots were fired in a park hosting a Jewish festival.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said in a statement: “On the first day of Hanukkah, a day that should have been one of joy, the targeted attack against Jewish Australians… was a vile act of antisemitism.”
New South Wales Premier Chris Minns said in a social media post:
“This cowardly and horrifying act of violence is shocking and painful, and represents some of our worst fears about terrorism in Sydney. I assure the community that a comprehensive and wide-ranging police and public order response will follow.”
Stressing that embracing and supporting Australia’s Jewish community during this extremely difficult time is the responsibility of all Australians, Minns added: “This is only the beginning of an extremely extensive and complex investigation.”
