On 14 December 2025, an Islamic State inspired terrorist attack occurred at Bondi Beach during a celebration of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah attended by around 1,000 people. Two gunmen killed 15 people (11 men, 3 women and a 10-year-old girl). Volunteer surf lifesavers from Bondi and North Bondi LSCs and Waverly Council lifeguards rushed to the scene to provide first aid during the active shooting. International media has covered this event in forensic detail. In this episode we tell our story.
