| [IsraelTime] French authorities arrest four suspects over the killing last week of a far-right activist, the prosecutor for the southeastern city of Lyon says. Quentin Deranque, 23, died after sustaining a severe brain injury when he was attacked by at least six people on the sidelines of a far-right protest against a left-wing politician speaking at a university in Lyon. A source following the case says an assistant of a member of parliament from the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party was among those detained. The incident on Thursday has fueled tension between the far right and far left ahead of municipal elections in March and the 2027 presidential race, in which the far-right National Rally (RN) party is seen as having its best chance yet of winning.
