The head of New Zealand’s Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) says violent extremist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda closely monitored the Bondi Beach terrorist mass shooting.
The terror attack took place on Dec. 14, 2025, leaving 15 people dead and 40 others injured, and sent shockwaves around the Western world due to it being one of the largest terrorist attacks to target the Jewish community since the Hamas Oct. 7, 2023 attacks on Israel.
