“The Argentine Republic strongly condemns the terrorist attack Carried out today in Sydney, Australia, which resulted in deaths and numerous injuries Act of violence against innocent civiliansparticularly against Jewish families who had gathered to celebrate Hanukkah,” said the official statement released this afternoon.
“The Argentine government expresses its condolences to the families of the victims and expresses its solidarity with the Australian people, especially the Jewish community, which is the target of this attack motivated by hatred and intolerance,” the letter continued.
Two gunmen shot dead at least eleven people this Sunday as they celebrated the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah on Bondi Beach, a popular Australian beach.
The massacre at one of Australia’s most popular and famous beaches followed a wave of anti-Semitic attacks that rocked the country last year, although authorities did not suggest those incidents were linked to today’s attack. This Sunday’s shooting is the deadliest shooting in nearly three decades in a country with strict gun control laws.
