Global attention, typically drawn to the sunlit surf and lively atmosphere of Sydney’s Bondi Beach, has shifted to an extraordinary display of human courage. In the aftermath of the deadly terrorist attack that targeted a Hanukkah gathering on Sunday, the man widely praised as a hero has been identified as Ahmed al-Ahmed, a 43-year-old local fruit vendor and father of two. Authorities and eyewitnesses credit his split-second decision to act with saving numerous lives, sparking an outpouring of admiration both across Australia and around the world.
