Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lit the final candle of Hanukkah in Jerusalem alongside Chabad emissaries, sending a message of resilience after the deadly Bondi attack in Sydney that killed 15 people during a Hanukkah celebration. Netanyahu said the terror attack would not break the spirit of the Jewish people and praised Chabad’s global vigilance in protecting Jewish communities. The mass shooting, Australia’s worst in decades, is being investigated as terrorism, with authorities saying the attackers were inspired by Islamic State. Security has since been tightened across Australia amid fears of further violence.
