Breaking News: Police Boost Security in Jewish Communities Amid Rising Tensions
Fifteen people, including a child, have been killed in a mass shooting at an event marking Hanukkah at Australia's Bondi Beach, officials confirm. The attack targeted members of the Jewish community.
Police forces in England and Scotland are increasing their visibility among Jewish communities, as events celebrating the religious holiday get underway. This move aims to provide reassurance and prevent potential copycat attacks.
The shooting occurred on Sunday morning, and its impact is being felt globally. A vigil was held outside the Australian High Commission in central London, with attendees waving British and Israeli flags and holding signs reading "Stop the Hate."
The rabbi for Marleybone, Yisroel Lew, lit a menorah at the vigil, urging people not to be afraid and to celebrate Hanukkah. A large menorah was also lit up in Trafalgar Square to mark the first day of the festival.
As the investigation into the Bondi Beach shooting continues, police are working to ensure the safety of Jewish communities worldwide. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
