In a disturbing incident early this morning in Rouen, France, police were forced to take lethal action against a gunman who tried to start a fire in a local synagogue. Armed with a metal rod and a knife, the attacker managed to set fire to the temple before being stopped by law enforcement.
The incident caused an immediate reaction from both the police and the firemen, reported the TV "France 3" and Bulgaria ON AIR.
In light of recent events in the Middle East and the ongoing offensive in Gaza, France recently raised its terrorist threat level to the highest level. The move reflects growing concern about potential threats and aims to strengthen security measures across the country.
The incident in Rouen serves as a stark reminder of the challenges and threats facing communities today, prompting a united effort for peace and security.
