FACTS

Montreal police have arrested a suspect in the Oct. 29 pellet-gun attack on Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom in Westmount, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) said Wednesday, JNS reports.

According to the Jewish advocacy group, the suspect targeted several buildings, including the synagogue and a church. Several of the synagogue's windows were damaged. No one was hurt.

It is not the first attack on the congregation: the same synagogue was firebombed in June.

The arrest comes a day after a teen who shot at two Toronto-area synagogues was sentenced to two years, as Canada's Jewish community faces a wave of attacks on its institutions.
