Hundreds of mourners bearing bright bouquets and clutching each other in grief gathered at a funeral in Sydney on Thursday for a 10-year-old girl who was gunned down in an antisemitic massacre during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.
Matilda, whose last name is being withheld at the request of her family, was enjoying a petting zoo at the festivities on Sunday, just before she was killed along with 14 other people in a mass shooting targeting Jews. The suspects, a father and son, were inspired by the Isis group, Australian authorities have said.
