Joining Tel Aviv, Jerusalem will also light one of its famous landmarks in the blue, white and red of the French flag in solidarity with the French people — the walls of the Old City.

A section of the wall will be illuminated with the colors starting at midnight.

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat says “the whole world understands today what we in Israel and Jerusalem have experienced for years…We must all work together against terrorism of any kind.”

He added that Jerusalem sends its condolences to the French victims.
