Australian leaders have promised to immediately overhaul already-tough gun control laws after a mass shooting targeted a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

Police and local media reports said the shooting began while some people were attending a Hanukkah party on the beach. At least 40 people were hospitalized.

Police said around 1,000 people had attended the Jewish celebration, which was held in a small park off the beach.

At least 15 people were killed in a terror attack on Sunday targeting the Jewish community celebrating the first night of Hannukah at Sydney’s famed Bondi Beach.

The Jewish community of Sydney, Australia​ has deep connections to the Tri-State Area. Many on Long Island spoke fondly on Monday victims they knew.

Dozens of people lined up early on Tuesday at Sydney's Bondi Beach to pay tribute to the 15 victims and those wounded in Sunday's Hannukah festival shootings, Australia's worst mass shooting in nearly 30 years.

N.Y., faced backlash on Monday after saying "go Bills" before addressing the deadly shooting in Sydney, Australia, during a press conference.

As the eight-day Hanukkah holiday continues, security has been reexamined and even strengthened at some local synagogues and public events.

England and Australia players will wear black armbands and flags at Adelaide Oval will be flown at half-staff on Wednesday in an Ashes tribute to the victims of the Bondi beach shootings.
