Jewish groups say they are very concerned by the recent overnight attacks targeting a synagogue and a Jewish community centre in Quebec.

Montreal police spokesperson Sabrina Gauthier said on Nov. 7 that incendiary devices were cast at two locations in Quebec’s on-island suburb of Dollard-des-Ormeaux. The “firebombing” reportedly caused minor damage to the front door of a synagogue and the back door of a nearby Jewish community centre.
