Prime Minister Anthony Albanese decries the terror attack in Sydney’s Bondi Beach as “an act of evil, antisemitism, terrorism.”
At least 11 people were killed when two gunmen targeted a Hanukkah event.
“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 — an act of evil, antisemitism, terrorism that has struck the heart of our nation,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says in a televised address.
“An attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on every Australian,” he says.
