An unnamed Israeli intelligence source told The Telegraph between 9:17 PM and 9:46 PM UTC on December 14, 2025, that officials are keeping an open mind but an operation in Bondi Beach appears to have the hallmarks of a state-sponsored event. The source, who asked not to be named, provided the assessment to the outlet, as quoted in a post on X by Jason M. Brosky linking to the Telegraph article within the 29-minute reporting window. No further details on the operation or the suspected state sponsor were provided in the report shared during this period.
