Police have previously suggested a link between anti-Jewish attacks in the city and shootings at the US consulate.

The US Consulate General in Toronto was struck by gunfire for the second time in four months, police reported.
No one was injured in the attack, Toronto police said on Monday. A shell casing was recovered, and the building’s facade sustained damage.
A white sedan was seen fleeing the scene shortly after 5:00 a.m. local time (09:00 GMT). Officers pursued the vehicle briefly but halted the chase due to its extreme speed and safety concerns.
No suspects have been arrested, and the investigation remains ongoing.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State said Washington is working closely with Canadian authorities on the matter.
Toronto police have not speculated on a motive for the weekend incident or its possible connection to earlier shootings.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford stated that “all those responsible will be found, prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
This is the second shooting at the consulate within a four‑month period.
On March 10, gunfire hit the same building, leading to the death of a police officer during an arrest operation.
Police indicated in June that youths were being recruited through encrypted messaging apps to target sites—including synagogues, Jewish schools, a waste‑management company, and the US Consulate—for payment after recordings were submitted.
Investigators have not released evidence, but the case continues with support from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the FBI.
