In another all-too-common attack on Jews in France, a rabbi and two Jewish worshippers were stabbed yesterday outside a synagogue in Marseilles, the Times of Israel website reports today (October 25, 2015).

According to the French daily newspaper Le Figaro, the knife-wielding assailant was drunk and could be heard shouting anti-Semitic slurs at the time of the assault.

According to the report, the assailant is mentally unstable and is known to local police. He was arrested near the scene shortly after the attack.
