A Jewish school in Montreal was hit by gunfire, according to local media, marking the Canadian city’s third such attack in less than a week amid heightened tensions over the conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.
No one was injured when the facade of Yeshiva Gedola of Montreal was struck early on Sunday. Bullet marks and shells were found after residents heard gunfire, CBC News in Canada reported.
Police on Thursday said they were investigating overnight shootings at two Jewish schools in the Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood after staff reported finding bullet holes in the front doors.
It was unclear if the incidents at Jewish schools in the city’s west end were related.
On Wednesday, a violent altercation at Concordia University in Montreal between people aligned with opposing sides of the Gaza conflict resulted in injuries and an arrest.
Administrators said that the university, like others, has witnessed “a concerning rise in acts of intimidation and intolerant behaviour” that had left students in fear.
The Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, has condemned the violence.
