In 2024, the Bais Chaya Mushka Girls Elementary School in Toronto, Canada was targeted in three shooting incidents.

Incidents

[edit]

The series of attacks began in May 2024, with subsequent shootings occurring in October (during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur) and December of the same year.[1][2][3] In each incident, the school building was damaged by gunfire, though students were able to continue attending classes.[1] The shootings took place during a period of increased antisemitic incidents across Canada following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent Israel-Hamas war.[4][3]

Response

Law enforcement

[edit]

Toronto Police arrested two individuals in conjunction with the October attack.[2][3]
