A 33-year-old man has been charged with preliminary terrorism charges following an arson attack on a synagogue in France. The incident occurred last weekend at the Beth Yaacov synagogue in La Grande Motte, a town on the Mediterranean coast.
The suspect, identified only by his initials EHK, stated that the attack was intended to defend Palestinians and prompt a change in Israeli policy. He set multiple fires around the synagogue, resulting in injuries to a police officer during his arrest.
