Police have declared a mass shooting at Bondi Beach on Sunday a terrorist attack, after two gunmen opened fire on hundreds of people gathered for a Hanukkah celebration. At least 16 people have been killed, including a child, in Australia's deadliest mass shooting since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. The event has prompted global condemnation, heightened security at Jewish sites, created fear among communities and renewed calls from leaders to confront hate and stand in solidarity with the Jewish community.
