Synagogue Attack Spurs Terrorism Investigation in France

French authorities have launched a terrorism investigation following an explosion and fires outside the Beth Yaacov synagogue in La Grande-Motte, which injured a police officer. The attack, which occurred early on Saturday, involved two cars set on fire and additional fires at the synagogue's entrances. A suspect, seen on surveillance footage carrying a Palestinian flag and a weapon, is at large. President Emmanuel Macron condemned the act as a 'terrorist act,' emphasizing the ongoing fight against antisemitism. This attack is part of a broader increase in antisemitic incidents across Europe, exacerbated by the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. No worshippers inside the synagogue were harmed, and a manhunt is underway to apprehend the perpetrator.
