Ten years after France was rocked by a series of Islamist shootings targeting Jewish children and French soldiers, President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday joined two of his predecessors – Nicolas Sarkozy and François Holland – along with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, in Toulouse for a sombre ceremony to remember the victims.
Seven people were slain in March 2012 when radicalised “scooter killer” Mohamed Merah, 23, opened fire on uniformed soldiers before fronting up at a Jewish school, where he shot dead a rabbi and his two children. He then turned his weapon on a third child.
