Two men accused of carrying out last week’s deadly mass shooting on Bondi Beach recorded a video condemning “Zionists”, police allege in court documents released on Monday (December 22, 2025).
A video file found on one of the accused’s phone shows the two sitting in front of an Islamic State flag, reciting a passage from the Koran and making statements “regarding their motivation for the ‘Bondi attack’”, the police documents said.
