Australia Terror Attack

New York and Los Angeles have bolstered security at public Hanukkah events after Australian authorities said a father and son, identified as Sajid and Naveed Akram, carried out an Islamic State–inspired mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach that killed at least 15 people, injured dozens, left the father dead and the son hospitalized, and involved homemade ISIS flags, improvised explosive devices and legally owned firearms. U.S. Jewish security groups have urged tighter measures — preregistration, access controls and police presence — and organizations such as Chabad say they will continue public menorah lightings with heightened security.
