| Pro sharia rally in France |
Jews continue to be physically attacked in France. Two Jews were attacked this week on their way to synagogue, according to a statement released by police in France.
The latest attack against the Jewish community occurred in the French city of Lyon, police said.
The two jewish men were attacked by three Muslim men, in an attack that was unprovoked, according to police.
The two Jews began screaming for help causing neighborhood residents to gather at the scene. The attackers fled the scene before police arrived.
Police arrived at the scene and launched a criminal investigation. Police discovered that the attack was captured on video by security cameras at a nearby store. The investigators expressed hope that the video would lead to the quick arrest of the suspects.
This is not the first time that Jews were beaten by Muslims in the French city of Lyon.
A year ago, three Jewish men were brutally attacked in an unprovoked assault in Lyon. Two of the victims were hospitalized.
Shortly thereafter, the Chief Rabbi of Lyon received a letter threatening continued attacks on Jews.
