In the first full day of opening since a mass shooting driven by antisemitism killed 15 people at Australia's famed Bondi Beach on Sunday, thousands of people returned to the waterfront Friday to commemorate the losses and try to heal through a sense of community.
For many, official promises to stamp out the “evil scourge” of antisemitism and consider further tightening gun control measures come too late.
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.
Police intercepted two vehicles in a Sydney suburb based on "information received that a violent act was possibly being planned."
The attack was Australia's worst mass shooting in nearly 30 years, and is being investigated as an act of terrorism targeting the Jewish community.
