Bondi Beach: Warnings Ignored, ASIO Knew Attacker Before Australia's Deadliest

• The Bondi Beach shooting, Australia's deadliest terror incident since 1996, killed at least 16 and injured over 40, targeting Jewish Australians during Hanukkah.
• Perpetrators Sajid and Naveed Akram were involved; Naveed was known to ASIO since 2019 for ISIS links but not deemed an immediate threat.
• The Australian Jewish community and Mossad had issued repeated warnings about rising antisemitism and potential threats, which critics say were ignored.
• Police response to the attack was criticized as slow and "underprepared" by eyewitnesses and experts.
• The Australian government faces criticism for its handling of escalating antisemitism and for banning an Israeli politician while failing to protect its citizens.
