Two rabbis, an elderly Holocaust survivor, a 10-year-old girl and a French citizen are among the identified victims of the Bondi shooting attacks.

Police said today 14 people died at the scene and 42 people – including four children – were taken to hospitals across Sydney.

Officers have since been told two other people – the young girl and a 40-year-old man – have since died in hospital.

The injured included two police officers, a constable and a probationary constable who were at the scene and injured during the attack.

The constable exchanged fire with one of the gunmen and was shot and is now in critical condition.

Those who died are yet to be formally identified, however police believe their ages range between 10 and 87 years.

‘Bright, joyful’ child named

A fundraising page has been set up for the 10-year-old girl killed in the Bondi attacks.

The young girl has been identified as Matilda, according to her language teacher Irina Goodhew, who has launched a fundraising appeal for her mother and her family members.

“I knew her as a bright, joyful, and spirited child who brought light to everyone around her,” Goodhew said on the fundraising site.

“Yesterday, while celebrating Hanukkah, her young life was tragically taken. Her memory will live on in our hearts.”

The family gave 9News permission for Matilda’s image to be run.

Rabbis among victims

Among the victims was Rabbi Eli Schlanger, 41, who helped organise the Hanukkah event allegedly targeted by two gunmen yesterday.

He was named by both the official X account of Hasidic Jewish movement Chabad, and his cousin Zalman Lewis on Instagram, as one of the 15 innocent people killed in the attack.

The Chabad.org account said Schlanger was an assistant rabbi at Chabad of Bondi.

He was one of the organisers of the “Chanukah by the Sea” event, marking the first day of Hanukkah yesterday.

“The rabbi said in the face of darkness, the way forward is to ‘be more Jewish, act more Jewish, and appear more Jewish’,” the post read.

Lewis said his cousin was “truly an incredible guy”.

Alex Ryvchin, of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, told 9News the rabbi left behind a wife and young children.

“The rabbi was the best of us. This was a man who got up every morning with the purpose of doing good. That’s all he did,” he said.

“He drove around and he gave things to charity, and he fed the needy. And he visited prisoners in prisons. And he just lived to do good things.”

Chabad also identified Rabbi Yaakov Levitan, who served as secretary of the Sydney Beth Din centre in Bondi Beach as another victim.

Chabad is an international movement of ultra-Orthodox Judaism known for its public candle-lightings in communities across the world.

Holocaust survivor killed

Chabad.org also named two other victims: Alex Kleytman, a Holocaust survivor, and Reuven Morrison, a member of the Chabad community who divided his time between Sydney and Melbourne.

Kleytman’s wife, Larisa Kleytman, also a Holocaust survivor, confirmed his death to The Australian today.

“He came on Bondi Beach to celebrate Hanukkah, for us it was always a very, very good celebration, for many, many years,” she said.

Alex Kleytman survived the Holocaust with his mother and younger brother in Siberia.

He and his wife later migrated to Australia from Ukraine and had been married for nearly 60 years.

French citizen among victims

A young French national has been identified as one of the victims of yesterday’s Bondi Beach shooting in Sydney’s east.

French President Emmanuel Macron said in a statement posted on X the citizen was Dan Elkayam.

“It is with deep sadness that I learned of the death of our compatriot Dan Elkayam in the anti-Semitic terrorist attack in Sydney.

“My thoughts are with his family and loved ones, and I express to them the full solidarity of the nation.”

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said the country was mourning with Elkayam, and described the shooting that left at least 16 people dead as “despicable”.

“We mourn with his family and loved ones, with the grieving Jewish community and the Australian people,” Barrot said in a statement posted to X.

“This despicable act is yet another tragic manifestation of a revolting surge of antisemitic hatred that we must thwart.”

“France will spare no effort to root out antisemitism wherever it emerges, and to combat terrorism in all its forms.”

Elkayam was a member of the Rockdale Ilinden football club’s Premier League One team in southern Sydney, which posted a tribute to him today.

“It is with extreme shock and sadness to discover our Premier League 1 player – Dan Elkayam – was a victim of the horrendous, tragic and senseless events at Bondi Beach on Sunday 14th Dec 2025.

“Dan was an integral member of our PL1 Squad in 2025 – who was an extremely talented and popular figure amongst team mates.

“Our deepest and sincerest condolences to Dan’s family, friends and all that knew him. He will be missed.”

The Le Parisien newspaper reports that Elkayam, a Jew, was 27 and had moved to Australia about a year ago to work as an engineer.
