[Regnum] French President Emmanuel Macron decided to deploy up to seven thousand members of the Sentinelle forces after a knife attack on a school in the city of Arras, BFMTV reports, citing a statement from the Elysee Palace.

“(Macron has decided to mobilize) up to 7 thousand soldiers of the Sentinelle forces, (which will be) deployed by Monday evening until further notice,” the statement said.

At the school or around the country? That’s a lot for a school, even if the community has a high admixture of both Jewish and Moslem students, but doesn’t seem to me in my ignorance very many if spread around the nation.

As IA Regnum reported, on October 13, in northern France, an unknown person with a bladed weapon attacked the Gambett Lyceum, killing a teacher and injuring several people. The criminal was detained. The attacker is about 20 years old and a former student.

That would be Mohamad Mogushkov, 19 or 20, a Russian refugee of Chechen or Ingush origin.

French authorities have decided to introduce a maximum terrorist threat level following the attack on the Lyceum in Arras, and amid growing threats due to the situation in Israel.

Protests in support of Palestine are taking place in France, despite the prefecture's ban.
