Canadian Synagogues and Others Receive Bomb Threats

A series of bomb threats targeting Jewish institutions and other locations across Canada has prompted a significant police response. Over 100 Jewish organizations, including synagogues, hospitals, and museums, received threatening emails, which authorities believe are connected to a broader national wave of threats. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and local law enforcement are investigating these incidents, coordinating with international police to identify the culprits. Despite the threats, officials have deemed there is no immediate risk to public safety. Community leaders emphasize the increase in antisemitic incidents and call for stronger action from elected leaders to combat hate crimes. The threats have also been reported by Muslim and Arab communities within Canada, indicating a broader pattern of targeted hate and intimidation.
