- Rabbi Mendel Kastel visited Ahmed al-Ahmad at a Sydney hospital to thank him for intervening during the attack that killed Rabbi Eli Schlanger.
- Al-Ahmad told visitors, "We are all brothers, we are all human beings," emphasizing unity across faiths.
- Attorney Sam Issa said al-Ahmad was shot four times in the left arm, lost sensation in the limb, and remains stable though in significant pain.
- Issa said doctors expect several operations, including one scheduled today, and reported that al-Ahmad’s spirits are good.
