An investigation is underway by the Toronto Police Service’s Hate Crime Unit after the window of a North York synagogue was damaged overnight on Friday, according to authorities.
Police say the incident happened at the Mishkan Avraham synagogue, near Bathurst Street and Glencairn Avenue. The exact circumstances were not immediately clear, but police say a window was broken with an unknown object.
No suspect description was available.
In a social media post, Idit Shamir, the Consul General of Israel in Toronto and Western Canada condemned the incident.
“These attacks come only days after Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly acknowledged that Canada is facing a severe antisemitism crisis,” Shamir wrote.
