Syrian-born Ahmed Al Ahmed remains in critical condition after heroically disarming a gunman during a Hanukkah celebration attack at Bondi Beach. Despite suffering multiple gunshot wounds that may cost him his left arm, Ahmed says he would take the same action again to save innocent lives. Over $570,000 has been raised to support the father of two, who became an Australian citizen in 2022.
