Overview

• Jews Against the Occupation organised a Father's Day paddle-out at Bondi Beach in solidarity with Gaza.
• A counter-demonstration featuring Israeli and Australian flags confronted the event, with videos capturing shouts such as “Deport the lot of them” and “Go back to Lakemba.”
• A brief scuffle on the steps near the Bondi Pavilion triggered police intervention, and specialist units kept the groups apart before dispersal around midday.
• NSW Premier Chris Minns called the scenes reprehensible and warned of zero tolerance for political violence.
• NSW Police say inquiries are ongoing and have released images of three men they believe can assist with the investigation.
