Hindustan Times Ranchi
|December 17, 2025
Bondi Beach hero Ahmed al-Ahmed, who put his life on the line by wresting a gun from an attacker in Australia's deadly mass shooting, has become a source of pride for his hometown in Syria.

"His act is a source of pride for us and for Syria," Ahmed's uncle Mohammed, a farmer, said in the town of Al-Nayrab.
Ahmed, a fruit seller and father of two children, emigrated to Australia from Syria in 2007, 60-year-old Mohammed said.
On Sunday, 44-year-old Ahmed became a hero when he intercepted an attack on a gathering for a Jewish festival marking the start of Hanukkah.
The attackers killed 15 people, and shot Ahmed several times in the shoulder during his tussle.
