Horror in Australia: Two men, aged 22 and 25, were arrested in Sydney today (Saturday) after pointing weapons at Jews leaving Shabbat prayers at the Chabad center in Double Bay, located not far from Bondi Beach, where the horrific massacre at a Chabad Hanukkah party took place.

Police later announced that the weapon was indeed a dummy gun, but both men remained in custody and are expected to be charged in the coming days.

At the same time, the police continue to collect testimony from people who were outside the synagogue at the time of the incident.
