A 23-year-old man has been sentenced to 66 months in prison for firing shots at Yeshiva Gedola in Montreal, Canada, during a frightening incident in November 2023.

Abdirazak Mahdi Ahmed received the sentence following court proceedings connected to the shooting, which occurred amid heightened security concerns for Montreal's Jewish community.

The gunfire damaged the yeshiva building, raising serious concerns among parents, students, and local Jewish residents. No injuries were reported in the attack.

The sentencing, reported on November 9, 2026, marks a significant development in the case, nearly three years after the incident.

The shooting was among several incidents targeting Jewish institutions in Montreal during that period, prompting increased security measures and calls for stronger protection of Jewish schools and community facilities.
