Several Paris Jewish institutions sprayed with green paint
Five Jewish institutions were sprayed with green paint in Paris overnight and an investigation has been opened, a police source said on Saturday. Police found the paint damage early on Saturday on the Shoah Memorial, which is the Holocaust museum in Paris, three synagogues and a restaurant in the historic Jewish neighbourhood of Le Marais, the source said. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said on X that he was disgusted by these 'despicable acts targeting the Jewish community'. Israeli President Isaac Herzog said in a post on X later on Saturday that he was 'appalled by the attack' on Jewish institutions in the French capital. 'I call on the French authorities to act swiftly, and firmly to bring the perpetrators to justice, and to defend the Jewish community from hatred and attacks of any kind,' Herzog said. It was not yet known who committed the damage, or why. The Interior Ministry did not respond to a request for comment on details of the incidents. France has seen a rise in hate crimes: last year police recorded an 11% rise in racist, xenophobic or antireligious crimes, according to official data published in March. The figures did not break down the attacks on different religions.

'Israeli' President Herzog flees stadium after missile sirens sound
Israeli Occupation President Isaac Herzog evacuated the stands of Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv on Thursday during the final match of the 'Israel' State Cup, following the sounding of air raid sirens triggered by a ballistic missile attack launched from Yemen. According to Hebrew media, sirens echoed across southern Tel Aviv while the match was underway, sparking panic among spectators and players who fled the pitch. President Herzog was immediately escorted to a secure location. Once the state of alert was lifted, Herzog returned to his seat, and the match resumed in front of approximately 30,000 spectators, amid a tense and fearful atmosphere. The Houthi movement claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that the missile targeted Lod Airport (Ben Gurion Airport) in the occupied city of Jaffa. The strike reportedly led to a temporary suspension of air traffic and forced thousands of settlers into bomb shelters. The attack comes in response to what the Houthis described as 'Israeli' airstrikes on Sana'a International Airport, which destroyed the only functioning civilian aircraft at the facility.
