Armed police have begun patrolling Sydney following the Bondi Beach attack, in a security operation linked to last year’s deadly shooting at a Hanukkah festival.
The new police unit has been deployed as part of the authorities’ response to the attack. Its patrols are intended to provide an increased armed presence in the city after the fatal incident.
The supplied information does not give further details about the size of the unit, the areas it will cover or how long the patrols are expected to continue. It also does not include any additional statement from police or other officials.
The latest development is the start of the armed patrols in Sydney, with the operation presented as a direct security measure following the attack.
