The attack occurred during the Jewish community’s Hanukkah festival, when people were celebrating on the beach.

Usman Khwaja’s family received hatred

Usman Khawaja, who comes from the Muslim community and is currently playing the Ashes series, has not publicly reacted to these comments. However, his wife Rachel Khawaja has shared screenshots of some very objectionable messages on social media, in which their innocent daughters were also targeted.

Rachel wrote, “I have collected a small sample of some of the messages we have received over the past week. I wish I could say that this is all new, but the truth is that we have had to face this kind of hate before. After this incident, these comments have increased even more.”
