Bondi Beach shooting victim dies in hospital

A 90-year-old woman who was shot during the Bondi beach terror attack has passed away almost a year after the massacre, according to a senior Jewish community source. The elderly woman had been hospitalized on and off throughout the year for treatment of her injuries sustained during the attack on December 14th, 2025. She recently returned to the hospital due to an infection and sadly died from a stroke, the source revealed.

Her funeral is scheduled to take place on Monday, with a family spokesperson requesting privacy during this challenging time. The shooting at the Hanukkah festival claimed the lives of 15 people and left 40 others injured. The attack was carried out by Naveed Akram, 24, and his father, 50-year-old Sajid Akram. Sajid was killed by police on the scene, while Naveed faces 78 charges, including 15 counts of murder and one count of committing a terrorist act that investigators believe may have been inspired by Isis.
