A troubling rise in antisemitic attacks and incidents in recent years have left some feeling anger after the kind of deadly attack they felt was sure to happen.

Two people were taken into custody on Sunday as law enforcement officials responded to Australia’s popular Bondi Beach for a "developing incident," the New South Wales Police Force said. Police in a social media message urged the public to avoid the area. Anyone who was there was told to seek shelter.

Leading Jewish groups in the United States are urging all Jewish organizations to ratchet up security measures at public events — including restrictions on access — following the deadly mass shooting that targeted a Hanukkah celebration on a popular Australian beach.

A day after the deadliest domestic terror attack in Australia’s history, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese faced criticism he didn’t do enough to combat rising attacks on the Jewish community nor swiftly enact recommendations from the nation’s antisemitism envoy released five months ago.

An investigation is underway after a deadly attack on a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday.

Members of Sydney’s Jewish community, and many other Australians, gathered at the site of a mass shooting on Bondi Beach to offer condolences and ask questions.
