A German citizen was killed and two others were injured in a stabbing near the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Saturday evening, according to French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin. The attacker, who reportedly shouted “Allah Akbar,” was shot and neutralized by the police. The assailant, born in France and known to security services, had a history of psychiatric issues.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian revealed that the attacker, when arrested, claimed to be “frustrated by the situation in Gaza.” The incident occurred just eight months before Paris is set to host the 2024 Olympic Games, with the opening event expected to draw around 600,000 tourists from across the globe.
The stabbing has raised concerns about security in the city, especially with such a high-profile event on the horizon. Authorities are likely to increase vigilance and precautions in the wake of this tragic event, as they work to ensure the safety of residents and visitors alike.
