Toronto police are looking for a suspect after signs were lit on fire in front of a synagogue and Jewish school in North York overnight Wednesday.
Police say they responded to a call for a fire in the Bayview Ave and Fifeshire Road area at 2:44 a.m.

A father and son accused of planning a terrorist attack in Toronto had filmed a video of themselves holding weapons in front of the ISIS flag, sources told Global News.
The video of Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and Mostafa Eldidi, 26, showed them with an axe and machete, according to three sources.
Two of the six terrorism charges filed against the pair accuse them of possessing those same items for the benefit of ISIS.
The arrest of a father and son accused of planning a mass casualty attack in Toronto on behalf of ISIS suggests the enduring appeal of the terrorist group.
Five years after it was defeated in Syria, where it committed scores of atrocities, the so-called Islamic State continues to inspire violence far from the Middle East.
The alleged plot disrupted by this week’s arrests involved an axe and machete, which were seized by police, according to court records obtained by Global News.
The alleged mastermind of the 9/11 terror attacks and two accomplices will plead guilty in exchange for being given life sentences rather than the death penalty, according to reports.

The sentencing of Calgary terrorism sympathizer Zakarya Rida Hussein was adjourned again Tuesday, this time so his lawyer can deal with a new “wrinkle” in the case.

Last Tuesday, British authorities arrested a 24-year-old man after he allegedly stabbed a British Army soldier off-duty but in uniform—this week, leaked emails from the Royal Navy reveal that military members are being advised to forgo wearing their uniforms or covering any military insignias in public, because a “lower profile would be more appropriate.”
After the politicians imported the Muslim third world into England, military members now find themselves in enemy territory in their own homeland.

“… In June, the RCMP laid charges against four men for illegal slaughter of animals. Seven halal grocery stores in Calgary were shut down. The slaughtering was done on rural properties in the counties of Mountain View, Rocky View and Wheatland.
Mounties provided a photo of discarded cow carcasses covered in snow. In Edmonton, police found live goats destined for slaughter in a rented garage.”
The men are said to have traveled to Germany via Ukraine, exploiting the unrest triggered by the 2022 Russian invasion. They are accused of planning attacks in Germany and Western Europe.

Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 28 years after being found guilty of running a banned terrorist organisation.
Choudary, 57, who counter-terror police say has had a “radicalising impact” on terrorists, was convicted last week of taking a “caretaker role” in directing Al-Muhajiroun (ALM) while its founder was in jail.
He was also found guilty of encouraging support for the group through online lectures to the Islamic Thinkers Society, which prosecutors said was another name for ALM.

Brave Leanne Lucas, 35, who organised the yoga and bracelet making class is among the victims fighting for her life in hospital after the ‘ferocious attack’ that left two children dead.
The primary school supply teacher – who now teaches children’s yoga workshops – suffered stab injuries after a man entered the venue through the unlocked door, which was left open amid the scorching heat, and started attacking children.
