An unauthorized drone was spotted flying over the Jewish school in Toulouse that was attacked in 2012.
Soldiers guarding the Otzar Hatorah school as part of a French government directive in the aftermath of the January 9 attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris observed the drone on Sunday evening, French media reported.
The drone looped around the Roseraie neighborhood where the school is located and flew over Otzar Hatorah’s middle school and high school buildings, the guards said.
The incident occurred just one day after an unidentified man was spotted placing a bag containing Stars of David mixed with rags in front of a synagogue in a Toulouse suburb.
Police are searching for the man and the people responsible for the drone.
