Explosive violence in the south of France: attack on synagogue shocked nation!
In the past few days, France has to struggle with two alarming incidents that influence both security and communication in the country. After an alleged arson attack on a telecommunications mast near Lyon, around 800,000 people were in the south of France without a cell phone connection and only had limited television reception. This incident occurred on Monday night in Cenves, where a 90 meter high mast was set on fire. TDF, the operator of the mast, described the crime as "undoubtedly criminal" and announced that it would do everything possible to restore the reception within 24 to 48 hours of how the Volksblatt reported.

At the same time, La Grande-Motte was shaken by another incident when an explosion took place in front of a synagogue. A policeman was injured while the alleged perpetrator was arrested. Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said that the suspect was gave away shots during the arrest and injured on the face. It was caught near Nîmes, south of La Grande-Motte. The investigation by the anti-terrorist prosecutor is running, especially because there are indications of anti-Semitic motivation. Interior Minister Darmanin spoke of a "act of terrorist" and emphasized the need to protect Jewish worshipers, while President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the importance of the fight against anti -Semitism, as ZDF reported.The explosion was initially caused by burning up two cars, in one of the vehicles a gas bottle came to explosion. Another collision was reinforced by another gas bottle. The authorities fear that an even worse tragedy could have occurred at another meeting of believers in the synagogue. President Macron has strengthened the security measures in the country to prevent such attacks in the future.
