Authorities in France have arrested a 16-year-old teenager in connection with the antisemitic attack on the Rabbi of Orl\u00e9ans, local media reported, as\u00a0the country continues to face a rise in antisemitic incidents<\/a>\u00a0since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arie Engelberg, the rabbi of Orl\u00e9ans, was attacked on Saturday afternoon while walking home with his nine-year-old son from the synagogue in the city, located south of Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Engelberg, the attacker asked if he was Jewish, and when the rabbi replied yes, the assailant began hurling antisemitic insults, including \u201call Jews are sons of \u2014,\u201d and attempted to film him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to act, and I pushed his telephone away,\u201d the rabbi told BFM television. The attacker then allegedly started punching Engelberg and bit him until several people stepped in to help.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m OK, thank God, my son, I\u2019m getting better and better,\u201d the victim said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had an enormous amount of support.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
