As the death toll from the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach continued to rise, a senior Israeli security official told Israel Hayom that "in recent months there has been increased activity by Iran to orchestrate attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets around the world," adding: "There is no doubt that the direction and infrastructure for the attack originated in Tehran."

At least several people were killed in the shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, including a Chabad emissary. According to reports by local media, two terrorists were arrested by local police following the attack.

The source added that "this included Australia, where, following specific intelligence warnings, the government took partial measures against the Iranian Embassy, including the expulsion of the ambassador. There is no doubt that the direction and infrastructure for the attack originated in Tehran."
