Australia's ABC network has uncovered new information about the Sydney massacre that took place during the lighting of the first Hanukkah candle, where 15 people were killed. The attackers threw four explosive devices into the crowd at Bondi Beach, but none detonated. Prior to the attack, the two perpetrators trained, scouted the area, and recorded a video justifying their actions while displaying weapons and extremist flags. Court documents reveal that Sajid Akram was killed at the scene, while his son Navid faces 59 charges, including 15 counts of murder, after being taken into custody.

A week after the attack, thousands gathered at Bondi Beach for a vigil under heavy security, with the prime minister attending amid public outcry. Members of the Jewish community called for a federal commission of inquiry, highlighting a rise in antisemitic incidents and demanding a comprehensive investigation into the tragedy.
