This is not aviation related, but I wanted to post this in support of the Jewish Community
Fifteen people have lost their lives, and many others were injured when two gunmen opened fire on a crowd at a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach on Sunday evening. It has now been reported it was a father and son behind the guns. Naveed, 24, was critically injured and is under police guard in hospital, while his father, Sajid, 50, was shot dead by police at the scene.
I am writing this with a heavy heart, struggling to find words that can truly capture the sorrow and devastation caused by this horrific act of violence at Bondi in Sydney. The loss of fifteen lives, and the suffering of so many others who remain in critical condition, is heartbreaking beyond measure.
Among the victims were 10-year-old Matilda, a Rabbi and father-of-five Eli Schlanger, 41, a French national Dan Elkayam in his 20s, a Holocaust survivor Alex Kleytman, businessman Reuven Morrison, and former police officer Peter Meagher.
Our thoughts are with the victims whose lives were taken far too soon, with the families who are now living a nightmare and with those who are fighting to survive. There are no words that can ease this pain, but we wanted to acknowledge it, to say that this loss matters, and that these lives mattered.
This tragedy has left our family feeling shocked, heartbroken, and overwhelmed with grief. It is devastating to witness such senseless violence and to know the lasting trauma it leaves behind—for families, friends, first responders, and the entire community.
