The Chabad Shul (Synagogue) in Pomona, NY was burned to the ground last night. Israel bombing Palestinians in Rafah, Gaza, seems to be having consequences.

Following a fire which ripped through the Chassidim 110 – Chabad Shul in Pomona, NY, on Wednesday morning, congregants were devastated to discover that all three of the Shul’s Sifrei Torah had been destroyed.
Congregants, with the assistance of Chaveirim volunteers, were finally given access to the Shul located at 34 Northridge Road a few hours after the fire tore through the Shul, destroying the entire building.
They discovered that the Torahs, which had been stored in a metal safe, were tragically unable to withstand the fire.
Neighbors captured the flames on video a little before 6:00 am. The fire quickly spread and engulfed much of the building.
Residents are devastated by the loss of other holy articles as well, such as Tefillin, seforim and more.
The fire spread to brush behind the home as firefighters worked to contain the blaze, ABC reported. The cause of the fire is still unknown.
There were no reports of injuries.
