Eva Geller, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor, died in a Sydney hospital almost a year after she was shot in the Bondi Beach attack on 14 December 2025, the Associated Press, the BBC and the Guardian report. The New York Post reports that her death raised the death toll from the attack to 16. Two gunmen opened fire on a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach that day, and dozens were wounded. Rabbi Aron Moss said doctors had initially told Geller she would never walk again, but that through determination she walked again before the attack’s aftermath returned her to hospital.

How each side tells it

Compare views

All three sides report that Eva Geller, 90, died almost a year after being shot in the Bondi Beach attack. The main difference is emphasis: the New York Post leads with the toll rising to 16, while the Guardian and BBC headlines focus on the time since the attack.

  • the left

    2 outlets

    Left-side headlines lead with the timing, almost a year after the attack, and with the attack as an antisemitic massacre, as in the Guardian’s “year after antisemitic attack” and the AP-carried “Sydney Hanukkah massacre”.
