Jewish school in Canada targeted by gunfire during Yom Kippur, in 2nd attack in months
[IsraelTimes] A Jewish school in Toronto was hit by gunfire Saturday for the second time this year, local police say, amid a rise in antisemitic attacks in Canada in the wake of the war in the Middle East.

No one was injured after shots were fired from a vehicle at around 4 a.m. local time at the Bais Chaya Mushka girls school, with the only damage being a broken window, according to authorities.

The school in the North York area of Toronto was targeted in a similar incident in May, and police believe the two shootings are connected.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
...hereditary prime minister of the Great White North...
says he is "very disturbed" by the incident, which comes as Jewish people celebrate Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Judaism.

"As we wait for more details, my heart goes out to the students, staff and parents who must be terrified and hurting today," Trudeau says in a post on X.

"Antisemitism is a disgusting and dangerous form of hate — and we won’t let it stand," he adds.

According to a report published in May by Jewish organization B’nai Brith Canada, antisemitic acts more than doubled in the country between 2022 and 2023.

In November 2023, a Jewish school in Montreal was shot at twice in a single week, with no one injured.
