"Ottawa police are assisting the RCMP with an ongoing police operation at various Ottawa Hospitals. Police are taking precautionary measures to ensure public safety while the investigation continues," it said.

Jewish-Canadian communities, including several lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, have expressed their concern over a rise in antisemitism across Canada amid the societal rift over Ottawa’s position on the Palestine-Israel conflict.
