Breaking News: Bondi Beach Attack Victims Honored in Emotional Minute's Silence
A minute's silence was observed at 18:47 (07:47 GMT) on Sunday evening at Bondi Beach in Sydney, exactly one week after the attack that claimed the lives of 15 people, including a 10-year-old girl, a British-born rabbi, and a Holocaust survivor.
The victims of the shooting, which occurred during a Hanukkah celebration, were remembered in a national day of reflection. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was booed by the crowd upon his arrival, a reflection of the anger and frustration within Australia's Jewish community over a rise in antisemitic attacks.
The attack, which was carried out by two gunmen, was a devastating blow to the community. The heavy security presence at the memorial event was a stark reminder of the ongoing threat of violence.
The memorial event was a somber occasion, with family members and mourners gathering to pay their respects to the victims. The silence was a poignant moment of reflection, a chance for the community to come together and honor those who lost their lives.
This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
