It was the second time in several days shots were fired at Yeshiva Gedola in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Côte-des-Neiges borough.

Some 10,000 Montrealers poured into the downtown area Sunday, near the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organizations headquarters, to support Israel and demand the release of 230 people being held

Two Canadians are among those believed to be held by Hamas.

A funeral was held on Thursday for Alexandre Look, 33, who was killed in Israel in the attacks led by Hamas militants on Oct. 7.

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante is asking anyone who plans to join a protest or rally in connection with the Israel-Hamas conflict to do so "in the name of peace."

The health authority that oversees Montreal's Jewish General Hospital issued a message to staff, encouraging them to cancel non-essential appointments on Friday. The extra precautions stem from tensions related to Israel's war with Hamas and a call to action from that group's former leader.
