The 2025 Bondi Beach shooting was a terrorist mass shooting that occurred at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia during a Hanukkah celebration attended by approximately one thousand people on 14 December 2025. Beginning at 6:47 pm, two alleged gunmen – Sajid Akram and Naveed Akram – killed 15 people, including a 10-year-old child, over seven minutes.

Numerous world leaders, news outlets and Australian authorities declared that the shooting was motivated by antisemitism. Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese said it was a deliberate attack on Jewish people during the first day of Hanukkah.
