Following the tragic shooting of two Israeli Embassy staff members in Washington, D.C., Toronto police and surrounding regional forces are ramping up their presence near synagogues and community centers to bolster security and support for the Jewish community. Local officials express gratitude for law enforcement's proactive measures and emphasize the need for tangible actions to ensure community safety. Authorities reassure the public of no immediate threats, while recognizing the incident's distressing impact on local community members, particularly those within the Jewish community.
Toronto police said they will increase patrols and have a visible presence at schools, community centres, and places of worship, in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
We need governments at all levels to step up—less talk and rhetoric, and more concrete action to keep our Jewish residents and communities safe, said Del Duca.
There is no immediate threat to our region and these patrols are in place to support all members of our community, YRP said on Thursday morning.
We recognize the impact this incident has had, particularly on Jewish community members, Durham Regional Police said.
