| [IsraelTimes] A pro-Israel student group in Toronto, Canada, says its event with IDF veterans was “stormed” by anti-Israel protesters, causing injuries. Student Supporting Israel at Toronto Metropolitan University posts videos on social media showing the altercation between the pro-Israel students and masked protesters at the off-campus event at which former IDF soldiers were due to speak. An anti-Israel activist chants, “We refuse to allow war criminals in our city,” while the pro-Israel students shout, “Get out,” and “Call 911.” Other videos show the pro-Israel students barricading themselves behind a glass door with furniture as the masked protesters gather on the other side. The two groups shout at each other through the glass door before the glass is smashed. It’s unclear which side broke the glass. The pro-Israel group shares a video of blood seeping out of a sliced forearm, as a woman cries in the background. “Broken glass. Blood everywhere. All because we’re Jewish — and tried to open dialogue,” the group says in a statement. Toronto police say that officers made multiple arrests after a group of demonstrators forced their way into a building, that one person was injured, and that there was a “significant police presence” in the area. The university’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine says on Instagram, “Our universities refuse to hold war criminals accountable. We will hold them accountable.” Hillel Ontario says in a statement that it is “aware” of the reports of an “anti-Jewish mob violently disrupting an event sponsored by Students Supporting Israel.” “This follows Students for Justice in Palestine Toronto Metropolitan University sharing a call to interfere with the event and encouraging others to do so,” it notes. “There should be no space for violence or intimidation on our campus or in our city. We call on the TMU administration to take urgent and immediate steps to ensure those who perpetrated today’s incident are held to account.” Toronto synagogue vandalized for 10th time since 2024 [IsraelTimes] Vandals smashed the exterior windows of Kehillat Shaarei Torah in Toronto yesterday in what the synagogue says is the tenth time it has been attacked since April 2024. Four or five windows were damaged in the early morning attack, local news station report. In a video with a timestamp of 4:30 a.m., surveillance cameras show a thin young man wearing a black hooded jacket jumping up to attack the windows with what seems to be a hammer in his left hand. The suspect, who is believed to have also been involved in some of the previous attacks, has not yet been identified. A spokesperson for the temple told CTV News Toronto that the suspect scaled a fence that was erected around the building with funding received through the federal government’s Canada Community Security Program. Rabbi Joe Kanofsky tells CTV that members of the 45-year-old synagogue plan to continue their regular routine throughout the police investigation. “The idea (of the vandalism) is to disrupt. So we had our service this morning, at seven o’clock, we had a full quorum show up, and we continue to do what we do,” he says.
