As terrorists opened fire at a Jewish event at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, a bystander charged one of the gunmen, tackled him to the ground, and ripped the weapon from his hands.
According to Australian media, the man has been identified as 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmad, a father of two who owns a fruit shop.
In a viral video shared on X, al-Ahmad emerges from behind a car and tackles one of the terrorists from behind, ripping the gun from his hands. He briefly points the weapon at the attacker as he retreats, then places it down against a nearby tree.

The terrorist then walks back to the other shooter, picks up another gun, and continues firing until he is shot. One gunman was killed and another was critically injured after being shot. Police are reportedly investigating whether there was a third gunman.
Al-Ahmad’s cousin told Australia’s News 7 that al-Ahmad was shot twice during the attack, once in the arm and once in the shoulder. He is undergoing surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
Eleven people have been confirmed dead and 29 others were rushed to the hospital following the attack on the “Chanukah by The Sea” event honoring the first night of the Jewish holiday of Chanukah, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger. At least 1,000 people are reported to have been in attendance.
Authorities also found “several improvised explosive devices” inside a car, according to Australia News 7.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the attack an act of “evil antisemitism.”
&#8220;There are nights that tear at the nation&#8217;s soul. In this moment of darkness, we must be each other&#8217;s light,&#8221; he said. “An attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on every Australian, and every Australian tonight will be like me, devastated by this attack on our way of life.&#8221;

Secretary of State Marco Rubio <a href="https://x.com/SecRubio/status/2000190513459142685">condemned the attack</a>, noting that “Antisemitism has no place in this world.”
“The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Australia targeting a Jewish celebration,” he said. “Our prayers are with the victims of this horrific attack, the Jewish community, and the people of Australia.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the man before his identity was made known.
“I saw a video of a Jew who lunges at one of the murderers, disarms him of the weapon, and saves who knows how many souls.”
