    The office of Interior Minister Manuel Valls said Sunday that police were mobilized to arrest those behind the attack a night earlier in Villeurbaine, near the city of Lyon.

    The ministry said the assailants wielded a hammer and an iron bar. One victim sustained an open wound to the head, and another suffered a neck injury. Both men wore Jewish skullcaps

    France is home to western Europe’s largest Jewish community, estimated at about 500,000 people, and has intermittently faced bouts of violent anti-Semitism.

    Much of France was shaken in March when a radical Muslim gunman shot dead a rabbi and three Jewish children in southwestern Toulouse.

    Get out of the nazi France. They are allJew-haters and are all part of vichy French.
    Rav Kaduri z”l said pro get out of France long ago. The longer one remains there, the more it will become like nazi Germany prior to WW2!
    All Jews, come to Eretz Yisroel before it is too late!

    As someone that respects the power of the RBSO as sometimes foreseen by Rabbi David, I will say forget the police. The RBSO can make miracles happen to destroy the animals that attack Jews in Villeurbanne,LYON. This city was best known as the home of Rabbi David when he lived in France.

    to comment n°1 : don’t tak about things you don’t know about, France isn’t a nazi country first of all, and the guys who attacked the jews aren’t nazis (most of attacks against jews are from arabs or muslims not nazis), and we don’t live under Vichy anymore. you stupid

    to comment n°2 : Pinto has no supernatural powers, people make him look as a miracle maker, stop believing in such things

    Instead of saying ridiculous things, why not pray for their refuah sheleima
