Bondi terror attack heroes to receive keys to the city
Council will also investigate options for the future of the pedestrian bridge used by the two alleged shooters during the attack
Three everyday heroes of the Bondi Beach terror attack who ran towards danger to help strangers under fire will be honoured by Waverley Council.
At an extraordinary meeting of council on Thursday night, a mayoral minute detailing various measures to acknowledge the courage of all those who put their lives on the line on December 14 was passed unanimously.
Ahmed al-Ahmed, Gefen Bitton and Leibel Lazaroff will each be presented with a key to the city and a lifetime Waverley Beach Pass in symbolic recognition of their significant bravery.
“These gestures symbolise the enduring impact of their selflessness on our entire community and are a token of our never-ending gratitude,” Waverley mayor Will Nemesh said.
Al-Ahmed, 43, wrestled a gun from one of the alleged shooters as attendees at the Chanukah by the Sea event were being targeted, slowing down the attack and undoubtedly saving countless lives.
