How to avoid misinformation (important)
In the first 24–72 hours after major incidents, online rumours can spread faster than verified facts. If you’re sharing this story:
Keep it clean and responsible
- Use time-stamped sources (e.g., “NSW Police update at 1:51pm, 15 Dec 2025”).
- Avoid sharing unverified names, photos, or “someone said…” claims.
- NSW Police specifically remind the public not to report information via NSW Police social media pages—use official channels instead.

Closing
This senseless terror attack at a beloved, peaceful location is profoundly shocking.
Bondi is one of those places people associate with sunshine and ease—so an attack here feels especially shocking. If you take one thing from this post, let it be this: share verified updates, don’t amplify rumours, and point people to official help lines when they need it. We can’t undo what happened, but we can reduce harm in how information spreads.
My deepest sympathies go to the victims and their families. This targeted antisemitic violence, especially during Hanukkah, is a hateful act that must be unequivocally condemned. The bravery of the first responders and citizens offers a vital light amidst this darkness.
