Australian authorities have confirmed that the mass shooting at Sydney's Bondi Beach, which claimed 15 lives during a Hanukkah celebration, was a terrorist attack inspired by the Islamic State. The suspects, a father and son, were confronted by police, resulting in the elder's death and the younger's hospitalization. Evidence, including flags found in their vehicle and a cache of weapons, has led officials to announce plans for sweeping reforms to the country's gun laws. The attack has sparked public anger and calls for greater protection of Jewish communities amid rising antisemitism. Investigators are also probing the suspects' recent travel to the Philippines and the presence of explosive devices at the scene.
