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.

The police named Sajid Akram, 50, and his son, Naveed Akram, 24, as the suspects in the shooting that claimed 15 lives on Dec. 14.

A Holocaust survivor, a 10-year-old and a Chabad rabbi were among the 15 people killed when two gunmen opened fire on a Hanukkah event at Australia's Bondi Beach on Sunday. Hundreds of people had gathered to mark the first day of the Jewish festival before the attackers struck at the event in Sydney.

Former Hamas hostage Eli Sharabi warned Australian leaders about rising antisemitism months before the deadly Bondi Beach Hanukkah shooting attack.

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.

It introduced stricter gun laws after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, but some say they now need to be tightened further.
