Sunday marked the first night of Hannukah, and to celebrate, more than 1,000 people gathered at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, some dancing and banging drums. Others were swimming in the ocean.

Australia's prime minister said the suspects in the shooting at the Hanukkah event were “motivated by Islamic State ideology.” They had traveled to the Philippines before the attack, officials said.

The victims of a mass shooting at Sydney's Bondi Beach range from a 10-year-old girl with a gentle soul to an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor.

Fifteen people - including a 10-year-old girl and a British-born rabbi - were killed when two gunmen targeted Jewish people attending a Hanukkah event.

A Holocaust survivor, a 10-year-old and a Chabad rabbi were among the 15 people killed when two gunmen opened fire on a Hanukkah event at Australia's Bondi Beach on Sunday. Hundreds of people had gathered to mark the first day of the Jewish festival before the attackers struck at the event in Sydney.

While a Sydney shopowner is being hailed as a hero after disarming one of the gunmen shooting at a Jewish holiday event at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, a couple and another man who died after physically confronting the attackers are also being remembered for their heroic efforts to save those around them.
