(JEWISH GROUP) At least 10 dead, 60 wounded in shooting at Chanukah party in Australia [View all]
At least 10 people were murdered and 60 wounded in a mass shooting incident at an outdoor Chanukah celebration in the Bondi Beach neighborhood of Sydney on Sunday, only about a half-hour before Jews in Australia light the first Chanukah candle.
Chabad has reported that one of their shlichim was murdered.
According to reports from the scene, two terrorists opened fire from a bridge at a celebration organized by Chabad, where thousands were gathered, including many families with small children, at about 7 p.m. Australian time (3 a.m. Cleveland time).
Those present began fleeing the scene in a panic, and many tried to hide. Witnesses said that it took a long time for police to arrive and neutralize the terrorists.
