Police didn’t provide a lot of detail regarding the incident, but did confirm that the hate crimes unit is investigating.

In a statement Sunday, Gila Martow, MPP for Thornhill, responded to reports of the graffiti.

“It’s heartbreaking to see the Jewish community targeted by hate once again,” she said in a statement.

“This is especially disturbing with a recent shooting inside another U.S. synagogue … Thornhill is home to many different ethnic communities who live, work, and study together. We must all remain strong yet vigilant in the face of hate.”
