Australian leaders have promised to immediately overhaul already-tough gun control laws after a mass shooting targeted a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

For many, official promises to stamp out the “evil scourge” of antisemitism and consider further tightening gun control measures come too late.

Three decades ago, almost 650,000 firearms − about one-third of all privately owned guns in Australia – were surrendered, loaded intro trucks and destroyed. In exchange for these firearms, part of a mandatory gun buyback program, the government paid out $200 million. Gun-related murder and suicide rates plummeted.

'No one expects to be a hero, but when the moment came, he was.' These are the words describing the bravery of Ahmed al Ahmed.

When shots started ringing out at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday, Logan Wein and Jordy Velasco turned into oncoming traffic and warned people headed toward the water to turn around altogether.

Widely circulated footage shows a man tackling one of the alleged gunmen who attacked a Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration. Here's what to know about him.

Chabad-Lubavitch Headquarter's Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky says the Bondi Beach shooting reflects Australia's tolerance of escalating antisemitic violence.

More than two dozen others were injured in the attack, which police say they are treating as a terrorist incident.
