Christmas celebrations at Sydney's Bondi Beach were subdued following a deadly mass shooting that killed 15 people over a week prior. Hundreds gathered despite windy conditions, with police patrols present. The attack, which occurred during a Hanukkah celebration, has spurred calls for stricter gun laws and increased action against antisemitism. New public gathering laws have also been passed in Sydney. In a separate incident, a car with a "Happy Chanukah!" sign was set ablaze in Melbourne.
