THE Emmanuel Macron ordered the mobilization of 7,000 troops to increase security patrols, his office announced Saturday, a day after a teacher was stabbed to death in an Islamist attack.
THE France was put on high alert after a 20-year-old man stabbed a teacher to death and seriously injured two others in an attack at a school in the northern French town of Arras.
Macron’s office announced that the soldiers will be mobilized from Monday evening until further notice. They will bolster an ongoing operation that regularly patrols major urban centers and tourist spots.
The state of high alert has been declared as France host the Rugby World Cup and face South Africa in the quarter-finals tonight.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanen said on Friday that the attack in Arras is linked to events in the Middle East, where Israel is conducting a military offensive against Hamas militants who last Saturday carried out a bloody raid on Israeli soil.
