Hundreds of mourners gathered in Sydney, Australia, on Thursday for the funeral of 10-year-old Matilda, who was the youngest victim of this weekend's mass shooting.

Families of Bondi Beach shooting victims share heartbreaking tributes to their loved ones killed in the deadly terror attack during Hanukkah celebration.

The funerals of Rabbi Eli Schlanger and Rabbi Yaakov Levitan were held amid grief and anger after the Islamic State-inspired, father-and-son terrorist attack at Bondi Beach killed 15 and wounded many more.

In the minutes that followed the first sounds of gunfire Sunday night at Bondi Beach in Sydney, the assault would end the lives of at least 15 people.

Hundreds had gathered for an event at Bondi Beach called Chanukah by the Sea, which was celebrating the start of the Hanukkah Jewish festival.

The police found two homemade Islamic State flags in the car of the suspects, a 50-year-old man and his 24-year-old son.

The 24-year-old, along with his father Sajid Akram, shot dead 15 people and injured at least 40 others in an attack at Bondi Beach.
