The Islamic state has praised alleged Bondi Beach terrorists Naveed Akram, 24, and his father Sajid, 50, as 'lions' and a 'source of pride' in a statement.
The pair are accused of opening fire into a crowd of Jewish people celebrating the first day of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach on Sunday.
Naveed remains in hospital under police guard after being shot by officers and woke from a coma on Tuesday. He has been charged with 59 offences.
His father Sajid, a licensed firearms holder, was shot dead by police at the scene.
The fifteen and final victim of the massacre has been identified as eastern suburbs woman Tania Tretiak, who was at the Hanukkah celebration when she was shot.
A group of over 700 surfers paddled out at Bondi Beach on Friday in memory of those who lost their lives in Australia's worst massacre since 1996.
Hero couple Boris and Sofia Gurman, who confronted Sajid Akram before their deaths, are expected to be laid to rest today.
The youngest victim was 10-year-old Matilda, who was farewelled in an emotional service on Thursday.
British-born Chabad Rabbi Eli Schlanger, 41, was also laid to rest, with some of his five children seen sobbing as they arrived at the service.
Other victims include Rabbi Yaakov Levitan, 39, French national Dan Elkayam, 27, Wellington Street synagogue assistant Reuven Morrison, Slovak citizen Marika Pogany, 82, retired NSW Police detective sergeant Peter Meagher, 61, Edith Brutman, Soviet immigrant Boris Tetleroyd, and Adam Smyth, 50.
