Israeli Critically Wounded after Running toward Sydney Attacker
(Ynet News) Roy Rubinstein - At Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, on Dec. 14, an Israeli, Gefen Biton, 30, ran toward the gunfire to help others and was critically wounded. Biton, who has been working in Australia for the past three years, arrived at the candle-lighting event on the beach with a close friend. In a video filmed by an amateur and broadcast by local Channel 7, Biton is seen running toward one of the attackers whom Sydney resident Ahmed al-Ahmed had confronted moments earlier, before being shot. Tom Cohen, an Israeli living in Australia, said, "The video shows Gefen's mentality. He was unarmed, but as an Israeli he chose to confront the danger, put himself in the line of fire and try to save others. He had already gotten out of harm's way and could easily have fled to save himself, but he chose to go back and help more people....He's just a simple Israeli with a huge heart who ran to save locals he didn't know. Now we're waiting for him to wake up."
