          After the shooting that killed 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach last weekend, Australia’s prime minister revealed what investigators had learned so far about the shooters’ motivations:

          Two homemade Islamic State flags were found in the car that police said belonged to the suspects, Sajid and Naveed Akram. The authorities say the men, a father and son, had recently traveled to the southern Philippines, an area where ISIS remains active.

          ISIS once controlled a territory in Syria and Iraq larger than Portugal. It trained thousands of young jihadists and inspired many to carry out a steady stream of terrorist attacks throughout the mid-2010s. Some were carried out by people who received training from the group. Others came from so-called lone wolf attacks that were inspired by the group’s extremist ideology.

          The mass shooting in Bondi Beach matches the patterns of many ISIS-inspired attacks. From its inception in 2013, ISIS has ordered its followers to target gatherings of non-Muslims and maximize casualties using whatever means are available,

          Despite the presence of ISIS flags, we don’t yet know if the Bondi Beach shooters interacted with ISIS or what their motivation was. The connections between the group and its adherents are often ambiguous. But ISIS tells followers that they don’t need permission for an attack,

          In 2017, fighters linked to ISIS besieged the city of Marawi for five months. The Philippines unleashed a massive assault to unseat them. Even after the group was routed, attacks have continued.

          But the Akrams’ trip to the Philippines may hint at the importance of smaller patches of territory where ISIS still holds sway. The ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan, known as ISIS-K, was behind an attack on a concert hall in Moscow last year that killed 149. The same group was linked to a planned attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna, which was foiled.
