An Israeli bank and the offices of a French company which imports Israeli made electronic equipment were slightly damaged early this morning by two explosive devices. No one was hurt, and the police said they have not determined whether bombs or hand grenades were used by the attackers who left behind leaflets saying, “Palestine will win.”
Both attacks took place early this morning. According to police, the explosions were heard by neighbors shortly before 4 a.m. The Bank Leumi building near the Paris Opera sustained only broken window panes and smoke damage from the explosion . The damage at the Ganco Co. which imports electronic components from Israel was heavier but estimated at under $1,000. According to police sources, today’s explosions were the first known attacks carried out in France by Palestinian elements since the start of the Lebanese war last month.
