Australian leaders have promised to immediately overhaul already-tough gun control laws after a mass shooting targeted a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

Seth takes a moment to address the anti-Semitic mass shooting at a Hanukkah festival in Sydney, Australia. A hero who disarmed one of the two gunmen at Bondi Beach told his cousin he thought he was going to die before taking on the attacker.

Police and local media reports said the shooting began while some people were attending a Hanukkah party on the beach. At least 40 people were hospitalized.

The deadly terror attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney comes amid a significant spike in antisemitic rhetoric and attacks in Australia.

On Dec. 15 in Southport, however, instead of "voraciously" pouring through the news about the shooting, as he said he'd done, he spent his night surrounded by others of the Jewish faith at a menorah lighting at the Pequot Library.

Jewish groups and law enforcement agencies across the Houston area are on alert in the wake of the shooting, in which at least 15 people were killed and dozens more were injured.

The Redlands Police Department’s investigation is still active as of Monday afternoon, according to spokesperson Carl Baker. The incident is being investigated as a potential hate crime. Police said Sunday the weapon used was likely an airsoft gun, as officers found no shell casings around the house.

A shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia is sending shockwaves through Jewish communities around the world, including right here in Palm Beach County.L
