A terrorist mass shooting occurred on 14 December 2025 at Archer Park beside Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. This took place during a Hanukkah celebration hosted by the Chabad of Bondi in which a thousand people were in attendance. Authorities declared it a terrorist incident, and numerous world leaders and news outlets described it as antisemitic.
Sixteen people were killed, including a child and one of the two perpetrators, with the second shooter in custody. A bystander had intervened and disarmed one of the gunmen. Police said the alleged gunmen were father and son. Forty-two people, including at least two police officers, were injured and taken to various hospitals. The New South Wales Police Force responded to the incident, and police later found and removed a suspected homemade bomb from a car belonging to one of the shooters. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said it was a deliberate attack on Jewish people during the first day of Hanukkah.
It is the deadliest mass shooting in Australia since the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, and the deadliest terror incident in Australian history.
