SYDNEY, Australia — As two gunmen opened fire on hundreds celebrating Hanukkah on Sydney’s Bondi Beach, 14-year-old Chaya Dadon’s mind was clear. Across from where she had taken cover from the gunshots under a bench, Dadon saw two children stranded out in the open, beside their wounded parents.

Videos from the tragedy give a clearer picture of how the antisemitic attack unfolded and how an officer, armed only with a handgun, moved in to take out the attackers from 45 meters (150 feet) away – helping to end Australia’s worst mass shooting in almost 30 years.

The nation’s worst ever terrorist attack began on an idyllic Sunday afternoon little more than an hour before sunset.

Authorities say the arrests came after they received intelligence suggesting a possible threat, but they have stressed there is no confirmed link to the ongoing investigation into the Bondi incident

'Police have not identified any connection to the current police investigation of the Bondi terror attack,' authorities said
