External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar condemned the recent terrorist attack during Hanukkah celebrations at Bondi Beach, Australia, where gunfire targeted the Jewish community, resulting in at least 11 fatalities. New South Wales authorities classified the incident as a deliberate assault on the Jewish community, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasizing national unity against fear and hate. A bystander heroically disarmed one of the attackers, potentially saving lives, while police investigations revealed an improvised explosive device linked to the assault. The attack has drawn international attention, highlighting rising antisemitism and underscoring the need for vigilance during communal gatherings in an increasingly polarized global landscape.
