Rabbi Eli Schlanger, an organiser of the the Hanukkah event targeted by gunmen, was one of the 16 people killed.
One of the victims of the horrific antisemitic mass shooting at Bondi has been identified as a rabbi who helped organise the Hanukkah event.
Police said today 14 people died at the scene and 42 people – including four children – were taken to hospitals across Sydney.
Officers have since been told two other people – a 10-year-old girl and a 40-year-old man – have since died in hospital.
LIVE UPDATES: Sixteen people dead, including a child
The injured included two police officers, a constable and a probationary constable who were at the scene and injured during the attack.
The constable exchanged fire with one of the gunmen and was shot and is now in critical condition.
Those who died are yet to be formally identified, however police believe their ages range between 10 and 87 years.
Among the victims was Rabbi Eli Schlanger, 41, who was named by both the official X account of Hasidic Jewish movement Chabad, and his cousin Zalman Lewis on Instagram, as one of the 16 people killed in the attack.
The Chabad.org account said Schlanger was an assistant rabbi at Chabad of Bondi.
He was one of the organisers of the "Chanukah by the Sea" event, making the first day of Hanukkah yesterday that was targeted by two gunmen.
"The rabbi said in the face of darkness, the way forward is to 'be more Jewish, act more Jewish, and appear more Jewish'," the post read.
Lewis said his cousin was "truly an incredible guy".
Alex Ryvchin, of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, told 9News overnight the rabbi left behind a wife and young children.
"One of my colleagues was there and he's wounded and he's in hospital at the moment. I've just heard that again.
"A friend has lost his 12-year-old daughter, who succumbed to her wounds in hospital."
Chabad is an international movement of ultra-Orthodox Judaism known for its public candle lightings in communities across the world.
Chabad.org also named two other victims: Reuven Morrison, a member of the Chabad community; and Alex Kleytman, a Holocaust survivor.
French citizen among victims
A young French national has been identified as one of the victims of yesterday's Bondi Beach shooting in Sydney's east.
French President Emmanuel Macron said in a statement posted on X the citizen was Dan Elkayam.
"It is with deep sadness that I learned of the death of our compatriot Dan Elkayam in the anti-Semitic terrorist attack in Sydney.
"My thoughts are with his family and loved ones, and I express to them the full solidarity of the nation."

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said the country was mourning with Elkayam, and described the shooting that left at least 16 people dead as "despicable".
"We mourn with his family and loved ones, with the grieving Jewish community and the Australian people," Barrot said in a statement posted to X.
"This despicable act is yet another tragic manifestation of a revolting surge of antisemitic hatred that we must thwart."
"France will spare no effort to root out antisemitism wherever it emerges, and to combat terrorism in all its forms."
Elkayam was a member of the Rockdale Ilinden football club's Premier League One team in southern Sydney, which posted a tribute to him today.
"It is with extreme shock and sadness to discover our Premier League 1 player - Dan Elkayam - was a victim of the horrendous, tragic and senseless events at Bondi Beach on Sunday 14th Dec 2025.
"Dan was an integral member of our PL1 Squad in 2025 - who was an extremely talented and popular figure amongst team mates.
"Our deepest and sincerest condolences to Dan's family, friends and all that knew him. He will be missed."
The Le Parisien newspaper reports that Elkayam, a Jew, was 27 and had moved to Australia about a year ago to work as an engineer.
