Philippine authorities are investigating reports that the father-son duo responsible for the deadly Bondi Beach shooting in Australia had visited the Philippines for possible military-style training one month before their attack on a Hanukkah celebration that left 16 dead. The incident, officially declared a terrorist act, has been condemned by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as a targeted act of antisemitism against the Jewish community.
