At least six French soldiers have been injured, two of them seriously, after being hit by a vehicle in a Paris suburb, police say, as cited by local media. A police operation is underway in the area, the authorities have confirmed.
The “incident” how the cucked media calls it, or the jihad attack, how we call it, took place in Levallois-Perret commune in northwestern suburb of Paris, some 6 km from the capital, local police prefecture said on Twitter.
“Police are everywhere, [they] set up a security perimeter and the neighbors are questioned,” one local told Le Parisien newspaper.
“Incident in Levallois Perret: police operation underway. [Police are] searching for a vehicle,” the statement said.
According to French media, the vehicle hit several soldiers from Operation Sentinelle, a French military operation deployed in the aftermath of the 2015 terrorist attacks.
At least six soldiers were injured in the incident, two of them seriously, French media said, citing the police prefecture.
Franceinfo spoke to the mayor of Levallois-Perret, who condemned the possible attack against military personnel in the commune. He said that the incident took place not far from the town hall.
“I find this shameful,” Levallois-Perret Mayor Patrick Balkany said, calling the incident an “intolerable aggression.”
“Without any doubt, it was a deliberate act,” Balkany later told BFMTV.
According to BFMTV, the vehicle, identified as BMW, was driven by a Arab man screaming Allahu Akbar!
The mayor of Paris has expressed her support for the six injured soldiers, wishing them a quick recovery.
France declared a state of emergency following attacks in Paris in November 2015, in which over 130 people killed. It was re-extended on several occasions. The current iteration was extended earlier in July and will last until November 1.
In July, the French Senate greenlighted a controversial counter-terrorism bill which would make the measures introduced during the two-year state of emergency permanent. It is yet to be signed into law by President Emmanuel Macron, who initially introduced it to parliament.
