The headline on the front page of the Daily Mail reads: "Hero of the Bondi Beach massacre." — An attack targeting a Jewish community event at Australia’s Bondi Beach dominates the front pages of Monday’s papers. The Daily Mail centres its coverage on the “incredible courage” of a 43-year-old shopkeeper who wrestled a gun off one the attackers in an effort to save lives. The paper says Ahmed al Ahmed was shot after he tackled one of the gunmen from behind and is still in hospital.

The Metro fills their front page with photos from a widely-circulated video of Mr Ahmed disarming one of the gunmen. The paper quotes New South Wales premier Chris Minns, who praised the father of two as “a genuine hero”, saying he has “no doubt many, many people are alive… as a result of his bravery”.
