Authorities in Australia are crediting a Muslim man with preventing an escalating loss of life by tackling one of two shooters, helping to end the attack on a Hanukkah celebration.

Australian officials said the shooting at a Jewish holiday celebration had been carried out by a father and son. More than three dozen people were hospitalized, including a surviving gunman.

The deadly terror attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney comes amid a significant spike in antisemitic rhetoric and attacks in Australia.
