Canada’s Jewish community is calling on the government to ensure law enforcement ramps up patrols and takes proactive steps to protect their safety after an attack at Australia’s Bondi Beach that targeted a large group celebrating the start of Hanukkah.

Two men opened fire at an event taking place at the beach located seven kilometres from central Sydney. The attack left at least 15 victims dead, and at least 40 people injured, including two police officers, according to local authorities.
