L’assaillant de la synagogue de Rouen est un migrant algérien sous OQTF. L’écrasante majorité des auteurs d’actes antisémites depuis le 7 octobre sont des Français ou étrangers issus du monde arabo musulman. L’immigration massive (et LFI) menace les juifs de France. pic.twitter.com/zu8ZILOJVW

The police intervened on Friday around 6:45 a.m. when smoke was coming from the synagogue. An individual threw “an incendiary element, a sort of Molotov cocktail” into the building, causing “significant damage”, according to the mayor of Rouen, Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol.
A knife and an iron bar

There, a man carrying a knife and an iron bar walks towards them. One of the police officers uses his weapon and fatally wounds the man, detail our colleagues from BFMTV.

Five shots were fired by the police officer, four of which hit the assailant, according to Rouen prosecutor Frédéric Teillet. The agent was taken into custody to ensure that the use of his weapon was legal.

The mayor of Rouen denounced a “deeply anti-Semitic” act. “It’s fright, it’s shock,” he confided, before providing “his support” to the Jewish community.

The individual killed by the police in Rouen had been under obligation to leave French territory (OQTF) for less than a year, BFMTV learned from a source close to the matter.
