A woman holding an Israeli flag was attacked on Wednesday during a high school student protest in Paris. A masked demonstrator rushed at her, snatched the flag, and fled near the Sciences Po university. The incident occurred in front of a barricade set up by the students protesting in the French capital. The attack was captured live by local television channel CNews, showing a man in black emerge from the protest area, charge the woman, and take the flag. Thomae Portes, a Member of the National Assembly for the left-wing party "Unbowed France," was present and attempted to intervene. Following the incident, the victim told the news crew, "We are on October 7th." She criticized the protesters' attire, noting "with keffiyehs, from head to toe," and questioned if they were indeed high school students. She further described the protesters' demands as "a declaration of allegiance to Hamas." The incident highlights the escalating tensions surrounding protests in France in recent months, where Palestinian flags are frequently displayed.
