Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.
With 462,501 views on Sunday, 14 December 2025 our article of the day is 2025 Bondi Beach shooting.
A terrorist mass shooting occurred on 14 December 2025 at Archer Park beside Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. It took place in the late afternoon during a Hanukkah celebration hosted by the Chabad of Bondi in which a thousand people were in attendance. Police and Australian intelligence agencies declared it an Islamic State–linked terrorist incident, and numerous world leaders, news outlets and Australian authorities described it as antisemitic.
Two gunmen shot at the crowd and killed fifteen people, including a child. Police killed one of the two perpetrators and took the second into custody. An unarmed bystander had intervened and disarmed one of the gunmen. Police said the alleged gunmen were father and son. Forty-two people, including at least two police officers, were injured and taken to various hospitals. The New South Wales Police Force responded to the incident, and police later found and removed a suspected homemade bomb from a car belonging to one of the shooters. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said it was a deliberate attack on Jewish people during the first day of Hanukkah.
It is Australia's deadliest terror incident, and its second-deadliest mass shooting after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, which led to the country having some of the strictest gun laws in the world.
