Thousands of people attend a vigil in front of the Hyper Cacher supermarket in Paris to honor the four Jewish men killed by a jihadist gunman during a terror attack on the grocery store yesterday.
Yohan Cohen, Yoav Hattab, Phillippe Braham and Francois-Michel Saada were shot dead during an assault at the grocery store by French terrorist Amedy Coulimaly. The killer was coordinating with Cherif and Said Kouachi, the terrorist brothers who carried out the Charlie Hebdo massacre on Wednesday, killing 12.
In a surprise appearance at the vigil, met with applause, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls says “France without French Jews is no longer France. For a few years now, French Jews have been afraid.”
“Today, we are all Charlie, we are all policemen, we are all Jews of France,” he says.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
