Police have turned to the public for help in identifying several men involved in a violent brawl at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on the morning of Sept. 7, 2025 between rival protest groups, one pro-Palestine and the other pro-Israel.

Jews against the Occupation, a Jewish-led pro-Palestine group, had organised a “paddle out” on surfboards on Father’s Day in support of the fathers of Gaza.
