Thirty-year-old Israeli Gefen Bitton has been identified as one of the victims of the Bondi Beach terror attack. Bitton was shot three times and is fighting for his life after he rushed to confront one of the shooters in the antisemitic Hanukkah attack.

Bitton, an Israeli national who, according to Australian media, has worked in Australia for the past three years as a garage door technician, appears in dramatic footage from Sunday’s attack alongside Ahmed Al Ahmed, who wrestled a weapon from one of the two gunmen and aimed it back at the attacker, Sajid Akram.

In the footage, Bitton is seen in a red shirt running toward Ahmed and Akram before Ahmed manages to wrestle the gun away. In other clips, Bitton later falls to the ground, apparently at the moment he was shot.

Ahmed, a 43-year-old Muslim father of two who owns a local produce store, was shot twice in the incident and taken to the hospital for surgery.

Australian police said that a 50-year-old father and his 24-year-old son carried out the attack on a Jewish celebration at Bondi Beach, killing 15 people........
