Australian hero raised $2.6M after disarming Bondi Beach shooter.

More than $2.6 million has been raised for Ahmed al Ahmed, a hero who disarmed one of the attackers during a mass shooting at a Hanukkah event in Sydney, Australia. The Syrian-born Australian Muslim was wounded while protecting others and has been praised by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Australian government is investigating the shooting as a terror attack targeting the Jewish community, with charges laid against a 24-year-old man and his deceased father. The fundraiser for al Ahmed aims to show gratitude and support for his courageous actions.
