A Jewish history teacher at a Jewish school in Marseille, France, was stabbed by a gang who shouted support for ISIS and anti-Semitic obscenities, on Wednesday, Nov. 18.
The attack on the teacher took place around 8:00 p.m., local time.
Local police are searching for the three terrorists. Reports claim that the three men approached the teacher, asked him if he was Jewish, then stabbed him in the arm and leg.
The three were interrupted in their attack by the arrival of a car, Marseille public prosecutor Brice Robin told Reuters.
Robins told Reuters that three people on two scooters, one of them wearing an Islamic State t-shirt, approached the teacher in the street.
“Another showed a picture on his mobile telephone of Mohamed Merah, a homegrown Islamist militant who killed seven people in a series of attacks in southern France in 2012.
The victim’s life is not in danger.
This attack comes less than a week after the ISIS assault on Paris which claimed the lives of more than a hundred people and injured hundreds in three coordinated attacks on Nov. 13.
In October, a Rabbi and two congregants were attacked outside a synagogue in Marseille.
Marseille, France’s second largest city, is located on the nation’s southwestern coast.
