Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMiri Michaeli, Europe correspondent for Israel’s Channel 10 news, tweets a troubling report from Paris.
The tweet reads, in Hebrew: “Chabad: Paris police order [us] to cancel most of our public [Hanukkah] candlelighting in the city, in light of the terror attack and the fear of additional attacks. Efforts [are underway] to approve a candlelighting at the foot of the Eiffel [Tower].”
חב"ד:משטרת פריז הורתה לבטל את מרבית ההדלקות הציבוריות בעיר, לאור מתקפת הטרור והחשש מפני פיגועים נוספים. מאמצים לאשר ההדלקה למרגלות ה'אייפל'.
