Authorities are investigating mass shootings in Australia and the United States. ​

In Sydney, Australia, at least 16 people were killed, and over 40 were injured in a terrorist attack at Bondi Beach. Two suspected gunmen—one who was killed and another in critical condition—were reportedly targeting the 1,000+ Jews gathered for a public Hanukkah celebration. Police also found and removed explosives from a nearby vehicle. ​

Some Aussie officials called the attack “entirely foreseeable,” citing a rise in antisemitism since the Israel-Hamas War. Australia’s Prime Minister condemned the “act of evil.”​

Separately, a lone gunman opened fire inside an engineering building at Brown University in Rhode Island, killing at least two students and injuring nine others on Saturday. The suspected shooter was taken into custody yesterday morning, ending an overnight manhunt. A motive hasn’t yet been determined.​

“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light… For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on his shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. The dominion will be vast, and its prosperity will never end.”
