One gunman was also killed and another wounded; two police officers among the injured taken to hospital

So far, very little information has come out about the identities of those killed and injured in the Bondi beach attack.

We know that 11 people were killed, and one of the gunmen is also dead. A second gunman is injured and in hospital, as are 29 victims, among them two police officers who were wounded while responding to the attack.

London-born rabbi Eli Schlanger , 41, has been named as one of the victims, Jewish News reports . The father-of-five, who was assistant rabbi at Chabad of Bondi, a Jewish cultural centre, grew up in Temple Fortune, north London. His first cousin, Brighton-based Rabbi Zalman Lewis, told Jewish News: “How can a joyful rabbi who went to a beach to spread happiness and light, to make the world a better place, have his life ended in this way?”

One Israeli citizen was among those killed, the Israeli foreign ministry said. It did not name the victim.

The Jerusalem Post reported that one of its contributors, Arsen Ostrovsky , head of the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council Sydney office, was wounded in the attack.

At least 11 people were killed and almost 30 wounded when gunmen fired on a Hanukah celebration on Bondi beach on Sunday, in what Australian police and officials described as a terrorist attack. One of the gunmen also died.
