Toronto Jewish Community Faces Arson and Vandalism Incidents

Police investigate burned school bus and anti-Israel graffiti; no evidence of hate crime in school fire

A school bus in a Jewish neighborhood was destroyed by arson, and multiple Jewish sites were vandalized with anti-Israel graffiti.
Toronto police are investigating the bus fire as a possible hate crime, but the fire at Leo Baeck Day School is not considered hate-motivated.
The Hate Crime Unit has been consulted for both incidents, but no evidence suggests the school fire was driven by hate.
Local politicians and Jewish groups condemn the acts as antisemitic and call for accountability.
No injuries were reported in either incident, and investigations are ongoing.
