French Christian Woman Assaulted In Jerusalem
A religious sister was violently shoved and beaten while walking south of the Old City in Jerusalem near the Montjoie ramparts on Tuesday around 5:30 PM. Thibault Lefebvre, head of the École Biblique et Archéologique de Jérusalem, identified a trend of Christianophobia regarding the incident. The sister's supervisor, Brother Olivier Poquillon, accompanied her to file a police complaint. The French Consulate and the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs have been notified of the assault. The assailant, a 36-year-old man identified as AG-LUID, is currently in police custody. The assailant is described as belonging to the extreme fringe of religious Zionism, associated with ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir. Jean-Noël Barraud condemned the assault of a French national Catholic nun in Jerusalem that occurred last Tuesday.
