Canada PM Trudeau condemns violence after shots fired at Jewish schools. After gunfire broke out at two Jewish schools in Montreal overnight, and there were altercations between students at a university in the same city late on Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced the latest violence as reprehensible on Thursday.

Police in Montreal announced on Thursday that they were looking into gunshots that occurred overnight at two Jewish schools. According to local media, both schools reported discovering a gunshot hole in their front doors on Thursday morning.

It was unclear whether the instances were connected, and no injuries were reported.

People who support different sides of the war in Israel and Gaza got into a violent confrontation at Concordia University on Wednesday, which led to injuries and an arrest, according to CBC News.

“I recognize that individuals are extremely troubled by what they witness there,” Trudeau told reporters in the Montreal region on Thursday.

However, “violence, hate, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and scenes such as the ones we saw at Concordia University or shots fired at Jewish schools overnight—all of that is unacceptable,” he stated.

Three weeks after the first Hamas attack on October 7, Toronto police revealed that hate crimes against Jews and Muslims had more than quadrupled in total for the year 2022.

According to Israel, the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas attacked and held over 240 people hostage while killing an estimated 1,400 people. According to Palestinian health authorities, over 10,000 Palestinians have perished as a result of Israeli shelling of the Hamas-run.
