A synagogue and a Jewish community center in Montreal were targeted by attempted firebomb attacks this week, community groups said, as tensions rise across North America in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war.
The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, a group that represents Jewish groups across Canada, said in a post on X that it was aware of an attempted firebombing at a center in West Island and at Congregation Beth Tikvah overnight Monday.
No one was hurt in either attack, which both took place in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, a mostly English-speaking suburb of Montreal.
Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said on X on Tuesday that the attempted arson was “deeply disturbing.”
