On Sunday, 14 December 2025, a Bondi Beach shooting rampage in Sydney, Australia, unfolded, killing what has been confirmed to be fifteen people, including a 10-year-old girl, the youngest victim of the horrific shooting, while 42 others were injured and hospitalised. A father-and-son duo opened fire, targeting Jews who were celebrating Hanukkah at an event called Chanukkah By Sea.

One of the gunmen was 24-year-old Naveed Akram, who was shot and is currently in critical condition in the hospital under police guard. His accomplice, his father, 50-year-old Sajid Akram, was shot dead at the scene by police.
