A man was killed in a suspected terror stabbing on Sunday, December 3, 2023 near the Eiffel Tower, Paris. The attacker, identified as a French Muslim, was allegedly motivated by anger over the recent Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip. Police shot and injured the attacker, who is now in custody. The victim, whose identity has not yet been released, was pronounced dead at the scene. French officials have called the attack an act of “terrorism” and have vowed to bring the attacker to justice.

The French government has also pledged to step up security measures in the wake of the attack, particularly in sensitive areas such as tourist attractions. The Times of Israel reports that this is the third deadly attack in France in recent months, raising concerns about a rise in terrorism in the country.
