Bondi Beach capturing LIVE updates: The surprising meals supply to the house of the alleged Bondi bloodbath gunmen – as member of the family briefly breaks cowl

Thousands have gathered at a memorial at Bondi Beach 24 hours after a father and his son allegedly opened fire during a Jewish Hanukkah celebration.

The death toll remains at 16 following Australia’s second worst mass shooting

Naveed Akram, 24, and his father Sajid, 50, stood on a footbridge connecting Campbell Parade to the Bondi Pavilion on Sunday night, firing shots into a crowd as people screamed and sprinted for cover.

Naveed remains in hospital under police guard after being shot by officers. He remains in a coma but is expected to survive.

His father Sajid, a licenced firearms holder, was shot dead by police.

Nine of the 15 innocent people who lost their lives have been identified. 

The youngest victim was 10-year-old Matilda.

Other victims included British-born Chabad Rabbi Eli Schlanger, 41, French national Dan Elkayam, 27, Holocaust survivor Alex Kleytman, beloved husband and father Tibor Weitzen, Wellington Street synagogue assistant Reuven Morrison, Slovak citizen Marika Pogany, 82, and retired NSW Police detective sergeant Peter Meagher.

Tensions flared at Monday night’s memorial, where Home Affairs minister Tony Burke was jeered by hecklers.

Shocking food delivery sent to the home of the alleged Bondi massacre gunmen

The family of the Muslim father and son accused of the Bondi Beach massacre have been sent a Christmas ham shortly after a relative broke cover for the first time in two days.

A male relative briefly broke cover on Tuesday morning during a tense encounter with reporters, while collecting a delivery outside the Bonnyrigg home in Sydney’s south-west.

Heavily disguised in a hoodie and face mask, the relative emerged only long enough to collect almost a dozen Woolworths bags and toilet paper from the front yard, as a pack of waiting media asked a barrage of questions about the attack.

The man remained silent, keeping his head down before quickly retreating back inside, offering no words and no explanation as the scrutiny surrounding the family continues to intensify.

A separate delivery that arrived 15 minutes later had a $42 half leg of ham inside.

The receipt included a Muslim slur and showed the order had been addressed to, ‘M***y dog’.

Delivery notes instructed the man to leave the bag at the house and not knock on the front door.

Naveed Akram, 24, and his father Sajid, 50, allegedly killed 15 people and injured 40 others after opening fire at a Jewish Hanukkah celebration on Sunday night.

Sajid was shot dead by police, while his son suffered critical injuries and remains in hospital under police guard.

The pair lived at Bonnyrigg in Sydney’s south-west with their mother and wife, Verena, 51, as well as Naveed’s younger brother and sister.

Their family has been holed up inside the home since Sunday night, refusing to speak to the media camped outside.

Islamic flags found in alleged gunmen’s car

NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon has shared new details about the father and son accused of the Bondi Beach massacre.

Two homemade ISIS flags and explosives were found in the car registered to 24-year-old Naveed Akram, who remains in hospital under police guard.

‘We continue to work through the motive of this tragedy. And we’ll continue to do so. I think it’s really important that our investigators continue to be given time to do that,’ Lanyon said.

He also confirmed reports that Naveed and his 50-year-old father Sajid travelled to the Philippines last month.

‘The reasons why they went to the Philippines, and the purpose of that and where they went when they were there, is under investigation at the moment.’

Premier vows to introduce ‘toughest gun laws in Australia’

NSW Premier Chris Minns has promised stricter gun law reforms in the wake of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack.

‘I’m determined to bring in the toughest gun laws in Australia and they’ll be significantly tightened in NSW,’ he told reporters on Tuesday.

He was joined by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who is working with other states and territories to strengthen gun laws following Monday’s emergency National Cabinet.

He commended Premier Minns on taking the lead on the reforms.

‘We’ve agreed to facilitate that and will continue engage this afternoon,’ Albanese said.

‘My government is absolutely committed to working with NSW, as well as working with community organisations, particularly Jewish community organisations, at this time.’

Albanese visits hero bystander in hospital

Anthony Albanese has met Ahmed Al-Ahmed, the brave bystander who tackled and confronted one of the Bondi Beach terrorists.

The Prime Minister attended St George Hospital on Tuesday morning, where the 43-year-old father of two is recovering from gunshot wounds.

Footage released by the Prime Minister’s office showed Albanese clasping Mr Al-Ahmed’s hand.

‘Thank you for your courage – it’s inspiring,’ Albanese said.

Mr Al-Ahmed replied: ‘You’ve got my support.’

Albanese said that it was ‘a great honour’ to meet the tobacconist shop owner and his parents, who were visiting from Syria.

‘He is a true Australian hero. He’s very humble. He went through his thought process as he saw the atrocities unfold,’ Albanese told reporters

‘He decided to take action, and his bravery is an inspiration for all Australians.’

It comes after Mr Al-Ahmed broke his silence from his hospital bed as he prepares to undergo further surgery on Wednesday.

‘At a moment where we have seen evil perpetrated, he shines out as an example of the strength of humanity,’ Albanese said

‘We are a brave country. Ahmed represents the best of our country. We will not allow this country to be divided. That is what the terrorists seek. We will unite. We will embrace each other, and we will get through this.’

Harrowing final moments of Bondi beachgoers

Two victims of the Bondi Beach shooting have been pictured moments before their tragic deaths trying to stop one of the gunmen.

Fifteen innocent people were killed during Australia’s second-worst mass shooting.

Police allege Naveed Akram, 24, and his father Sajid, 50, stood on a footbridge connecting Campbell Parade to the Bondi Pavilion on Sunday night, firing shots into a crowd celebrating Hanukkah on the beach.

A photo has emerged on social media of a man sitting on the road a metre away from Sajid, holding the weapon after wrestling it from him. A woman stands nearby.

Israeli ambassador grilled while paying respects to Bondi victims

Israel’s Ambassador to Australia has sidestepped questions slamming Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the wake of Bondi Beach terrorist attack.

Amir Maimon was grilled by journalists while visiting a makeshift memorial at the world famous beach on Tuesday morning.

Many of the 15 innocent lives killed had been attending a Jewish Hanukkah celebration in a nearby park at the time.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahhu has since accused the Albanese government of fuelling antisemitism in lead up to the shooting.

However Mr Maimon refused to join the backlash when he was repeatedly asked Albanese on Tuesday.

‘I’m not here to comment on the prime minister or the government. I am here to, as I said, to support the community,’ he said.

‘I am sure the community is engaged in a very close exchange with the government officials, whether it is federal or NSW government.

‘The Premier [Chris] Minns is very cooperative and I’m going to see him today right after the meeting here, he is a dear friend to the community. And I’m sure all necessary measures will be taken.’

Mr Maimon had only just returned from Israel.

‘The terrible news surprised me, as it surprised every citizen here in Australia and also every citizen in Israel,” he said.

“The whole day of Sunday and yesterday my spokesperson was interviewed by nearly every Israeli media platform. That was the only story in the news

‘Today, when you meet an Israeli in Israel and tell him you are from Australia, I guess that the questions you will be asked are not about the beautiful beaches of Bondi, the surfing, the kangaroos … the immediate reaction will be, what hell is going on here?’

Tradie breaks his silence on former workmate

A bricklayer who worked with one of the alleged Bondi Beach terrorists has revealed the chilling words he told his colleagues just weeks ago.

Lachie worked with Naveed Akram, 24, on construction sites for five years before the alleged gunman left the job about a month ago.

‘It made me feel a bit sick, that I spent so much time with someone, for them to be a monster like that,’ Lachie told A Current Affair.

‘He was a bit of a weird cat, but you didn’t think he had that in him.’

Lachie revealed that Akram had told his colleagues he ‘wanted to be remembered’ before recently leaving the company, claiming he had injured his hand.

Albo to meet hero bystander

Ahmed Al-Ahmed, the hero who tackled and confronted one of the Bondi Beach terrorists, will get a visit from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the the coming days.

The 43-year-old father-of-two is recovering from gunshot wounds in St George Hospital after he was shot in the shoulder and arm while hiding behind a tree shortly after confronting one of the gunman and wrestling the weapon from him.

The Prime Minister confirmed that he will meet Mr Al-Ahmed following a hospital visit from NSW Premier Chris Minns on Monday night.

‘I spoke to the premier after he visited, he told me he’s a great character, and he asked about whether I’d be visiting him – he’s a hero,’ Albanese told radio station Nova on Tuesday.

The PM also hinted at a reward, adding that the bystander’s heroism ‘needs to be recognised.’

It comes as Mr Al-Ahmed’s former immigration lawyer gave an update on his condition.

‘He’s having multiple surgeries, he’s got five gunshot wounds. It’s a serious injury – far more serious than has been reported,’ Sam Issa told The Australian.

‘At this stage, he says he has no feeling in his arm. I’m no medical doctor but he said to me that it seems like one of the bullets may have hit a nerve.’

Single image sums up courage of everyday Aussies during Bondi Beach shooting

An extraordinary image has emerged of a lifeguard racing to Bondi Beach to help save the wounded.

Jackson ‘Jacko’ Doolan was pictured on Sunday running from the neighbouring beachside suburb of Tamarama with trauma kits and first aid equipment.

He was one of numerous lifeguards who attended to victims of Australia’s second worst mass shooting.

The image has been praised online by ordinary Australians, with some saying Mr Doolan’s actions ‘capture the spirit of Australia’.

Nat Barr asks the question everyone wants to know about the alleged gunman

Tony Burke has come under more fire hours after he was heckled at a memorial for the Bondi Beach terror attack victims.

The Home Affairs minister copped a grilling from Sunrise host Nat Barr about alleged gunman Naveed Akram, 24, when he appeared on the program on Tuesday

It was revealed on Monday that Akram had previously been on the radar of Australia’s national spy agency ASIO following the arrest of a Sydney-based Islamic State terrorist in July 2019.

A six-month investigation found ‘no evidence’ that Akram had been radicalised.

‘How did this fall through the gaps?’ Barr asked the minister on Tuesday.

Burke defended ASIO’s actions at the time.

‘This was more than half a decade ago,’ he said.

‘There were people in ASIO’s sights and you go through everyone they might be associating with.

‘This (Akram) was one of those people and in working through and doing their assessment of him, he did not have the ideology or a motivation that matched those other people at that time.’

Barr pointed out that the second gunman, his father Sajid, 50, was a licenced firearms holder who held six firearms. Sajid was shot dead by police during Sunday’s incident.

‘It’s not a good look,’ Barr said.

Burke reiterated that ASIO found that Naveed had shown no violent ideologies at the time.

‘What happened back then was there were people who did, who were well and truly within the sights and being watched by our security intelligence and enforcement agencies for any of those anyone they associate with.

‘Back then, he didn’t. In the years that’s followed, that’s changed.’

Barr asked if any warning signs were missed or if anyone ‘messed up.’

‘ASIO constantly do a reassessment to make sure their systems and everything is constantly improving,’ he said.

‘I’ve done a lot since Sunday to interrogate this line of inquiry and I’ve got to say, our agencies could not have done more.’

Update on injured victims

Twelve people injured in Sunday night’s Bondi Beach terrorist attack remain in a critical condition.

NSW Health Minister Ryan Park appeared on breakfast television on Tuesday to provide an update.

Twenty-six patients are in various conditions in seven hospitals across Sydney.

‘Twelve are critical but some of those are now more stable, which is positive,’ Park said.

‘It is still a long way ahead for those who are now trying to recover, who will have ongoing surgeries for devastating injuries as a result of this horrendous attack.

‘Many of these people will have ongoing surgery, multiple surgeries, and are in for some very serious and challenging days and weeks ahead.’

Three patients are in a stable condition at Sydney Children’s Hospital.

The surviving alleged gunman, Naveed Akram, 24, also remains in hospital under police guard. He is expected to survive.

Park visited Royal Prince Alfred Hospital on Monday and will head to Prince of Wales Hospital later today to thank medical staff.

‘It’s been a massive effort. Our hospitals, as we know, are very busy places at the best of times,’ he told Sunrise.

‘But to be able to treat so many patients right across our Sydney hospital is true testament to the incredible healthcare system we’re lucky to have in NSW.’

It comes after NSW Premier Chris Minns visited injured hero Ahmed El-Ahmed in St George Hospital on Monday night.

PVO’s message to the federal government

Sunday night’s act of terror at Bondi Beach hasn’t come out of nowhere, according to Daily Mail political editor Peter van Onselen.

‘Social cohesion and cultural wars around conflicts on the other side of the globe have been at the heart of debate in Australian politics for many months now,’ he said.
