Toronto police said officers responded to reports of a bakery with a window damaged by gunshots and a second location with a broken window, though not from gunfire. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-is=\"component-paragraph\">Duty Inspector Scott Bradbury said no injuries were reported at either location, and the hate crime unit and gun and gang task force are investigating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-is=\"component-paragraph\">The damage comes nearly a month after a deadly shooting in Montreal killed two people, an officer and an Israeli citizen described as a beloved member of the city&#8217;s Jewish community. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said last month that Canada is &#8220;failing&#8221; Jewish Canadians and pledged to invest tens of millions of dollars in security for houses of worship, noting that over two-thirds of religion-motivated hate crimes in Canada last year targeted Jewish Canadians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-is=\"component-paragraph\">B&#8217;nai Brith Canada said in a statement the attacks were part of a worsening wave of antisemitism in the country, fueled by &#8220;anti-Zionist rhetoric, local criminal elements, Iran-backed proxies and ISIS-inspired terrorism.&#8221; The organization said 27 violent antisemitic incidents have been documented in Canada from the start of 2026 through mid-July, more than double the 10 recorded throughout all of 2025, and called on Canadian leaders to establish a federal commission of inquiry into rising antisemitic incidents.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Jewish life in Canada is under attack\" class=\"Lazy_poster__hZbms\" data-is=\"lazy-image\" data-observed-item-id=\"https:\/\/i24israel.vod.immergo.tv\/i24israel\/transcoded\/1c0af19f-c607-42ff-868e-c9c9771878a0\/poster.jpg\"\/>Jewish life in Canada is under attack<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two locations of Kiva&#8217;s Bagel Bar, a Jewish-owned bakery chain in Toronto, were attacked Sunday morning, with one&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":561330,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":["post-561329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561329"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561329\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/561330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
