Terror attack in Australia exposes growing jihadist networks as security experts warn ISIS remains far from defeated despite recent government claims.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Saturday that the country's Jewish community was "completely unbreakable" after attending a memorial event at a Sydney synagogue for the victims of a gun attack on a seaside celebration of Hanukkah,

The authorities are vowing to crack down after a mass shooting at a Jewish holiday celebration. Experts say that what the country needs might not be new laws.

Israel’s Amichai Chikli said Australian officials overlooked rising antisemitism and extremist rhetoric ahead of the Bondi Beach Hanukkah attack, criticizing the focus on gun laws.

For Australia’s tiny Jewish population, Bondi Beach was a refuge within a vast country that offered sanctuary to families fleeing a seething hate that killed six million of their kind within the lifetime of some of their oldest members.

The police found two homemade Islamic State flags in the car of the suspects, a 50-year-old man and his 24-year-old son.

Australia's central bank this month considered whether a rise in interest rates might be needed in 2026 given a recent pick up in inflation, but felt it would take a "little" time to know for sure.

Australian police have detained seven men during anti-terror raids in Sydney on Thursday as the country lays to rest the youngest victim of the deadly Bondi Beach attack.
