Hundreds of volunteer surf lifesavers gathered on Bondi Beach just after 8am on Saturday, lining the shoreline arm in arm for two minutes of silence.

It marked the first weekend of patrols since the shooting near the beach that killed 15 people at a Jewish community event.

Locals, families and first responders stood facing the water as waves broke and a rescue helicopter passed overhead.

Touching scenes at North Bondi this morning as thousands gathered at the baech for a sunrise memorial paddle-out honouring the victims of Sunday’s terror attack on a Jewish Hanukkah celebration.

More than 700 people paddled into the water on surfboards, rescue boards and racing mals, forming a circle offshore before holding a minute’s silence.

The paddle-out was organised by community members and faith leaders, with organisers saying the event was about standing together in reflection and solidarity. Surf lifesavers from nearby beaches alsojoined the paddle-in as a sign of unity.

Sixteen people remain in hospital, including two in a critical condition. Ahmed Al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the attackers, is still receiving treatment and is expected to undergo further surgery.

A tribute from NSW Premier to Bondi hero Ahmed al Ahmed.

“Ahmed is a real-life hero. Last night, his incredible bravery no doubt saved countless lives when he disarmed a terrorist at enormous personal risk.

It was an honour to spend time with him just now and to pass on the thanks of people across NSW.

There is no doubt that more lives would have been lost if not for Ahmed’s selfless courage.

Thank you, Ahmed.”

Donations have surged for Ahmed al Ahmed after he heroically crash-tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen behind Sunday’s terror attack in Bondi.

The campaign drew international attention after US hedge fund manager and Forbes rich-lister Bill Ackman called for a verified fundraiser to be established so al Ahmed could be supported directly. Ackman later donated $99,999 himself and shared the link publicly, saying he had been told the funds would be released only to al Ahmed.
