Toronto Police Service says there are no current credible threats to the city's Jewish communities, but residents should continue to see increased police presence.
"The Service continuously monitors world events to assess how they may impact the safety and security of Toronto residents," TPS said. Toronto police noted that it increased patrols in Jewish cultural centres and synagogues as well as other places of worship across the city in the wake of the deadly attack by the Hamas militant group on Israel.The statement comes after police said they heard from community leaders that the war between Israel and Hamas has generated fear and insecurity.
"As Chief Myron Demkiw said this week, hateful behaviour and criminality will not be tolerated, and the Service will pursue any alleged or suspected cases of hate crime and violence in our city. Residents are encouraged to report any allegations of hate-motivated incidents to police for investigation," TPS said.
