Yom Kippur prayers canceled after shooting
An armed attack was carried out in front of the "Children of Jacob" synagogue in the city of Belleville, Ontario, Canada. The incident occurred simultaneously with the start of Yom Kippur prayers and resulted in a police officer being seriously injured. Approximately 30 rounds were exchanged during the attack, leading the synagogue’s management to cancel the prayers and religious services. Jewish organizations have called on the Canadian government to strengthen security measures around Jewish institutions by improving intelligence coordination and increasing security protocols, warning of the potential repetition of anti-Semitic acts similar to those happening in Europe. The police have not officially disclosed the motives behind the incident, but there is a belief that it may be a hate crime, as investigations into the circumstances of the attack are ongoing.
