The Sydney Roosters<\/a> have led a number of NRL<\/a> clubs in releasing statements to stand with the local community and condemn the devastating terror attacks at Bondi Beach on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The tragic attack led to a loss of life for 15 victims after two gunmen opened fire on a Jewish religious festival held at Bondi Beach on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Roosters have long called Bondi home, with the Eastern Suburbs-based club being the first NRL<\/a> club to release an emotional statement after the tragedy.<\/p>\n

“The Sydney Roosters<\/a> are deeply saddened by the tragic events that unfolded at Bondi Beach yesterday,” the tri-colours wrote in their statement.<\/p>\n

“Bondi Beach is an iconic place for our city and our community, and this targeted attack on the first night of Chanukah is devastating.<\/p>\n

“Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, the Jewish community and everyone affected.<\/p>\n

“We extend our sincere gratitude to the first responders and emergency service personnel whose bravery, professionalism, and swift action made a critical difference under extraordinarily challenging circumstances.<\/p>\n

“No community in this country should live in fear.”<\/p>\n

The Canterbury Bulldogs<\/a> and Parramatta Eels<\/a> also released statements expressing their sadness at the tragic attack.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs wrote that the club stands against hate and violence.<\/p>\n

“Our thoughts are with the Jewish community and all those affected by the tragic events in Bondi yesterday.<\/p>\n

“The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs<\/a> stand firmly against hate and violence. Our deepest condolences to the families impacted by this tragedy.”<\/p>\n

The Eels stated similar.<\/p>\n

“The Parramatta Eels<\/a> extend our condolences to the victims, their families and everyone affected by yesterday’s tragic events in Bondi. In particular, we extend our thoughts to the Jewish community,” Parramatta wrote.<\/p>\n

“As a club, we stand firmly against all forms of violence and discrimination.”<\/p>\n

Flags are being flown at half-mast on Monday around the country, with the ABC reporting 42 people remain in hospital.<\/p>\n
