Ahmed al Ahmed, known as the ‘Bondi Hero’, is recovering following his initial surgery after bravely confronting a gunman at a Jewish celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. More operations are anticipated for Mr. al Ahmed, who is currently on heavy medication and unable to speak, according to his cousin.

The attack, carried out by a father and son, resulted in 15 fatalities and 40 injuries, marking Australia’s deadliest mass shooting in nearly three decades. The 50-year-old father was killed at the scene, while his 24-year-old son remains in a critical condition.

Internationally, Foreign Minister Wang Yi of China has conveyed a message of condolence to Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, expressing sympathy for the victims and their families.
