'Six Minutes Of Relentless Firing': How Bondi Beach Hannukah Mass Shooting Unfolded?

Several videos have emerged showing the horrific shooting that unfolded during Hanukkah celebrations at Sydney's Bondi Beach, capturing the final minutes of the attack that left 16 people dead and plunged Australia into mourning.

Videos filmed by bystanders and scrutinised by the BBC and Australian news outlets have tried to offer a reconstruction of how the attack unfolded. The footage documents the final phase of the shooting, although it remains unclear how soon after the gunfire began the filming started.

According to a BBC report, the footage opens on Campbell Parade, at the northern end of Bondi Beach, where investigators later identified the positions taken by the attackers.

Two gunmen are seen standing on a pedestrian bridge, firing down into a nearby stretch of parkland where a Hanukkah celebration was underway.

Around 30 seconds into the video, one of the attackers, identifiable by white trousers, leaves the bridge and moves closer to the crowd, positioning himself near a pool. From there, he opens fire at close range.

Two minutes and 50 seconds after the footage begins, a bystander intervenes.

The video shows the man confronting the gunman, disarming him, and forcing him to retreat. The attacker drops his weapon and takes cover behind a tree. The pause is brief. About a minute later, the man in white trousers reappears on the bridge and resumes firing, this time with a different weapon. Roughly 30 seconds later, he is shot.

The second attacker, wearing black trousers, continues firing in both directions for another minute and a half before he too is shot.

As the gunfire subsides, several people, believed to be members of the public, cautiously approach the scene. Another shot is then heard from an unclear location, seemingly directed at one of those who has just arrived. The person filming can be heard shouting, “Wow! Stop! No! Stop!", appearing to fear that someone attempting to help is being mistaken for an attacker.

Seven and a half minutes after the footage begins, police reach the bridge. One attacker is found dead, while the other is critically wounded.

As investigators continue to piece together the attack, more details have emerged about the two alleged assailants seen in the footage. The gunmen were a father and son, aged 50 and 24, who opened fire on people attending the Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, killing 15.

CBS News reported that the pair were originally from Pakistan and legally owned six firearms, all of which authorities believe were used during the attack. Officials are also examining evidence suggesting the two may have assembled an improvised explosive device intended to target the Jewish gathering, according to investigators cited by the network.

Australian police have not publicly confirmed a motive but have described the shooting as a clearly antisemitic terrorist act. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported on Monday that authorities are probing possible links between the attackers and the Islamic State group. Senior officials told the ABC that two IS flags were found inside a vehicle linked to the gunmen near the beach, although New South Wales police said they could not independently confirm that report.

The father, identified by local media as Sajid Akram, was killed in a shootout with police. Investigators said he held valid licences for six firearms. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said Akram first arrived in Australia in 1998 on a student visa and later transitioned to a partner visa in 2001. Since then, he had travelled overseas three times.

His son, identified in local media as Naveed Akram, was born in Australia and is an Australian citizen, Burke said. He remains in critical condition in hospital under police guard.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed that Naveed Akram had previously come to the attention of Australia's security agencies in 2019, though authorities said there was no indication of an imminent violent threat at the time.
