Large crowds are expected to gather in Bondi today for the first funerals following the Sunday's deadly attack.

The first service will be for Rabbi Eli Schlanger, and will take place at Chabad of Bondi.

Known as the "Bondi Rabbi", Rabbi Schlanger was head of the local Chabad mission and one of the people who organised the Hanukkah event on Sunday.

His cousin told the BBC that he was "a phenomenal and charismatic" person who "personified kindness".

"Eli always said we should be more Jewish, act more Jewish, and appear more Jewish."

A coffin has just arrived here at the Chabad of Bondi, where a funeral for Rabbi Eli Schlanger - one of the victims of the Bondi shooting - will be held shortly.

It’s just been covered in a black velour. There’s huge amounts of shroud with a gold Star of David on it.

People waiting outside are sobbing as the coffin is wheeled inside. Officers salute as it passes by.

There’s huge security here - the roads are shut off, bags are being checked and media are being held back behind the fence on the other side.

More mourners are heading inside behind those who’ve just carried the casket in.

It's three days since 15 people were killed in a mass shooting at Bondi Beach late on Sunday. New details continued to emerge on Tuesday. For our audience waking up in Australia, here's a look at what you might have missed.

Three new victims named: The family of Boris and Sofia Gurman confirmed the couple's deaths. Footage of the pair showed them tackling one of the alleged gunmen during the attack. A memorial was also held for a third victim, Edith Brutman. You can read about all those who've been named here.

First funerals to take place: Large crowds are expected on Wednesday for the funerals of two rabbis killed in the attack.

Survivors still being treated: Twenty-two people are still receiving treatment in hospital, NSW Health has said, with nine in a critical condition. Almost 50,000 appointments were booked to donate blood across Australia on Monday, the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood said.

Reports say surviving suspect awake in hospital: Naveed Akram, 24, reportedly woke up from a coma after being injured at the scene of the attack. The other suspect - his father, Sajid, who died at the scene - is an Indian citizen whose family had "no knowledge of his radical mindset", an Indian police official said.

Philippines trip under investigation: Attention has turned to a trip they took to the Philippines in November. Australian police are investigating the visit following unconfirmed reports that they went there to receive "military-style training".

The health minister for New South Wales has just been speaking to ABC.

Ryan Park tells the national broadcaster: "Police will deal with that particular individual today no doubt, when it's appropriate for him to be questioned based on advice from clinicians."

As a reminder, one of the two alleged gunmen - Naveed Akram, 24 - reportedly woke up from a coma in hospital on Tuesday, after being injured during Sunday's deadly attack.

Asked about his condition, Park says he had not focused on the suspect but on the victims, their families and healthcare staff.

We’ve just heard that there are still 22 patients being treated in eight hospitals across Sydney after Sunday’s attack at Bondi Beach.

Of these, three are in a critical condition and six are described as critical but stable, according to a New South Wales Health spokesperson.

The update contains no specific mention of the surviving gunman – who it has been reported in local media regained consciousness on Tuesday.

The road leading up to the Chabad where Rabbi Eli Schlanger’s funeral will take place in about three hours from now is busy with daily life, as the suburb of Bondi Beach begins to get a bit of its regular energy back.

Large crowds are expected to gather - and there will be a live stream provided for those unable or who do not want to attend in person.

As a courtesy, I checked with local community figures that the BBC and other media were able to run this broadcast live and was told “the family would like the footage to be projected all over the world”.

Naomi Abehsera tells me she was scared of coming to the Hanukkah celebration at Trafalgar Square in London this evening because of what happened at Bondi Beach. But the 19-year-old says: "The hate isn't going to make us hide away."

She says that while Australia is far away, "we all have people we know that are there, or have friends of friends".

"Even though we're sad and we're going to mourn... we're still going to follow our traditions and be positive, because that's what the whole celebration's about."

For 24-year-old Ben Isaac - who greets me with an energetic "Happy Hannukah!" - it's still a big celebration.

"I'm going to be a proud Jew, no matter whether you want to take me down or shoot me or whatever," he says.

"If I let those people make me scared, I'm letting them win."

A delegation of volunteers from an Israeli non-governmental search and rescue organisation have arrived in Sydney.

In the aftermath of the deadly attack, ZAKA Search and Rescue said in a statement it had dispatched its team to "assist in the identification of victims, ensure Kavod HaMet (dignity of the dead), and support the bereaved families."

ZAKA says it is working "in coordination with Jewish community leadership and local emergency authorities."

• As we've been reporting, in Judaism, bodies are usually buried within 24 hours of death, after which the victims' loved ones sit in a mourning period, called Shiva, for seven days. This process has been delayed because of the ongoing investigation into the shooting

As we've been reporting, two of the 15 victims killed in the Bondi Beach attack will be buried on Wednesday.

They are:

Rabbi Eli Schlanger

The 41-year-old was shot dead shortly after arriving for morning prayer at his synagogue on Sunday.

Rabbi Schlanger, nicknamed the "Bondi Rabbi", played an integral role in organising Sunday's event on the Sydney-based beach, which marked the beginning of Hanukkah.

He was also head of the local Chabad mission, an international Hasidic Jewish organisation.

His cousin, 46-year-old Rabbi Shmuli Brown from Liverpool, says Eli was "a phenomenal and charismatic" person who "personified kindness".

The British-born rabbi will be buried at Chabad of Bondi at about midday local time (01:00 GMT).

Rabbi Yaakov Levitan

His death was confirmed by Chabad, who describe him as a "popular coordinator" of its activities in Sydney.

He served as secretary of the Sydney Beth Din – a rabbinical court – and worked at the BINA Center, which describes itself as a centre of Jewish learning.

His funeral will take place at Macquarie Park Cemetery in north Sydney.

We've just seen a post from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who calls on Western governments to "do what is necessary" to combat antisemitism.

Though he doesn't make direct reference to the Bondi shooting, he urges the West to "provide the security and protection that Jewish communities need".

"And they would do well to heed our warnings. I demand action -- now."

In the hours after the deadly Bondi Beach attack, Netanyahu described antisemitism as a "cancer", adding that it "spreads when leaders stay silent".

In the shadow of Nelson’s Column, close to a thousand Jewish people gathered in Trafalgar Square to celebrate Hanukkah this evening lighting what they claim was the tallest menorah in Europe.

The organisers decided the event would still go ahead after the attack at the Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach and there were stringent security checks and a larger police presence.

Many here said they had come not only to celebrate Hanukkah but to show defiance: that they wouldn’t be scared off by a growing threat to Jewish people across the world.

But Keith Black the chair of the organisers, the Jewish Leadership Council, said there was also a feeling of anger and fury that not enough was being done to protect the Jewish community.

He said there is “a normalisation of antisemitism that is running rampant through our society.. something has to happen, it’s not acceptable.”

He called on the Government to do more to call out extremism. “There’s a lot of emotion, a lot of anxiety and there’s anger and there’s grief. Jews are feeling very unstable.”

In Trafalgar Square in London, people have gathered to mark the third night of the Jewish festival Hanukkah.

The event has been organised by the Jewish Leadership Council and the London Jewish Forum.

Alongside the celebrations, some attendees have also brought signs and placards protesting antisemitism.

We'll have more on this from our special correspondent Lucy Manning, reporting from Trafalgar Square, in our next post.

It's just turned 06:00 on Wednesday in Sydney (19:00 GMT), where later today the first funerals for some of the Bondi Beach shooting's 15 victims will take place.

A service for British-born Rabbi Eli Schlanger, 41, will take place mid-morning local time at Chabad of Bondi. The surrounding road will be shut due to expected crowds, and people will be able to attend remotely.

Later in the day, Rabbi Yaakov Levitan's funeral will take place at Macquarie Park Cemetery in north Sydney.

Chabad says details of services for the other 13 victims will be shared once confirmed.

Meanwhile, new information continues to emerge about the attack and its aftermath - here's what we learned on Tuesday:

• Three more victims of the shooting have been named as Edith Brutman, and married couple Boris and Sofia Gurman - dashcam footage shows the pair trying to tackle one of the gunmen
• As of 16:30 local time, 24 people injured in the attack were still receiving hospital treatment, New South Wales (NSW) Health said
• One of the gunmen, Sajid Akram is an Indian citizen whose family had "no knowledge of his radical mindset", an Indian police official said
• Meanwhile his son, 24-year-old Naveed Akram, the other alleged gunman, has reportedly woken from a coma after being injured at the scene
• Australian police are investigating a trip taken to the Philippines by the two men in November, after reports - which have not been confirmed by authorities - that they went to receive "military-style training"

The UK prime minister has said he is determined to root out the "poison of antisemitism" in Britain while speaking at a Hanukkah event in Downing Street.

Keir Starmer told the gathering, that was also attended by the UK's Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis: "Antisemitism is not just a problem for Jews, it's a problem for us all."

The prime minister added that he was "determined to defeat this poison of antisemitism together", urging people not be "cowed by terror".

The Jewish community, Starmer said, has been "shaken once again" by the "abhorrent attack" on Bondi Beach.

"We need to stand together in defence of the Jewish way of life, of the liberties and freedoms that make our British way of life," he said.

Rateb Jneid, president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, has described the attack on Bondi Beach as a "tragedy for all Australians".

He tells the BBC World Service that the Muslim community has "condemned this violence without hesitation" and urged that this "tragedy not be used as platform for hate".

"There is often a rush to judgement and placing blame on whole groups, especially when the person responsible is Muslim, even when the community speaks out clearly against such act," he says.

He says that some people "still try to blame Muslims" for the actions of individuals.

"This not only adds to the pain communities are already feeling, but also undermines national unity at a time when we must stand together," he adds.

"We are grieving alongside the nation. It was a senseless act of violence that has shocked the entire community."

A United Nations expert is calling for an "independent and impartial investigation" into the emergency response to the Bondi Beach shooting.

Ben Saul, the UN special rapporteur on protecting human rights while countering terrorism, says in a statement: “I applaud the courage of bystanders who assisted others, including the heroic efforts of one man who tackled a gunman and disarmed him."

"I also recognise the dedicated efforts of law enforcement, first responders and healthcare professionals," he says.

But he calls for an investigation that would look to identify whether the authorities "missed any opportunities to prevent the attack" and "whether the law enforcement response was sufficiently prompt and effective".

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is coming under pressure to tackle rising antisemitism in Australia. Here's what Jewish leaders have said:

The Executive Council of Australian Jewry said the attack showed "unfathomable evil", and acknowledged the government's commitment to "eradicate" antisemitism - but said action was needed.

But, Rabbi Moshe Gutnick, joint head of the group that organised the targeted Hannukah event at Bondi, said that for the past two years the government has done "absolutely nothing" to curb antisemitism.

The Jewish Council of Australia said it was "shattering" to be confronted with violence "during the Jewish festival of light and hope".

Liberal MP Julian Leeser, who is Jewish, called for the prime minister to act on recommendations in a July report published by the government's antisemitism envoy.

Labor MP Josh Burns, who is also Jewish, said the proposed gun reforms tackle the "how" of the attack, but added "the why needs to be confronted as well - and that is antisemitism."

He told ABC News that the reforms recommended by a recent antisemitism report "clearly" need to be brought "to the table quickly".

In response to the attack, Albanese convened the National Cabinet on Monday, saying "we stand with Jewish Australians and we stand against hatred and violence."

He also said the government was already implementing some of the suggestions in the report.

We're continuing to hear tributes to the victims of Sunday's Bondi Beach shooting. Here's a recap of what we've heard in the last few hours:

• The father of 10-year-old victim Matilda described how his Ukrainian family chose his daughter's name when she was born after they moved to Australia as it was the "most Australian name"

• The family of couple Boris and Sofia Gurman, who were both killed in the shooting, said they feel an "overwhelming sense of pride in their bravery and selflessness" after a video emerged showing their heroic attempts to tackle the attacker
• In another tale of bravery, the daughter of 62-year-old Reuven Morrison said her father was shot and killed after throwing bricks at the attacker, adding: "[He put] his own life at risk to save his fellow Jewish community members"

Our reporters have also been speaking to eyewitnesses and others about their experiences:

• Reporter Helen Sullivan met a Rabbi who has set up a stand for mourners to gather and pray - he said "light will always beat darkness", but that "the darkness hurts"
• Amit Moas, who had been enjoying a day at the beach, told reporter Katie Silver how he hid in a toilet with his partner when he heard the unmistakeable sound of gunfire
• First responder Jesse Lenn told our reporter Gabriela Pomeroy that Sunday's scene was like a "war zone"
