Arsen Ostrovsky, 'Post' contributor and pro-Israel human rights lawyer, wounded at Bondi Beach
Just two weeks prior, Ostrovsky warned about the "alarming surge in Jew-hatred since October 7, including the defilement of Australian landmarks being hijacked as platforms for intimidation."
Arsen Ostrovsky, head of the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council Sydney office and long-time contributor to The Jerusalem Post, was among those wounded in the mass shooting at a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach in Sydney on Sunday evening.
“[I’m] in [the] hospital recovering now,” Ostrovsky, who is receiving treatment, later wrote to the Post. “Bullet grazed head. Lot of bleeding. Doctors said miracle survived, was that close. Have been stitched up now. Worst thing was being apart from my wife + kids at that instance. I got hit when I went toward them. Thankfully, they got out Ok. It was absolute bloodbath, children and elderly everywhere. Felt like scene from Nova. But also incredible seeing how everyone rushed to help. Surreal.”
