A terror attack at Bondi Beach during a Hanukkah celebration resulted in at least 16 fatalities and several injuries when two gunmen opened fire on the crowd. Footage captured a civilian hero kicking a rifle away from one of the attackers before being briefly shot at by police, while another hero, Ahmed al Ahmed, disarmed an assailant but was injured in the process. Both men have been praised for their bravery, although their immigration statuses remain precarious. Ahmed’s lawyer highlighted his status as a Middle Eastern refugee, while a GoFundMe for him has raised over AUS $1 million.
