New videos have emerged of unarmed bystanders who sought to thwart the gunmen in the Bondi Beach Hanukkah terror attack and paid for their heroism with their lives.

The chilling footage shows how the terrorists — father and son Sajid and Naveed Akram — were almost stopped before they began their killing spree on the Jewish gathering in Sydney, Australia, which left at least 15 dead.

The couple, who were shot dead by the terrorists, have been named in Australian media as Boris and Sofia Gurman, 69 and 61, Russian Jewish immigrants who lived in the neighborhood. It was not clear if they had been heading to the Hanukkah event or just happened to be passing by.
