Three young Jewish men were attacked Saturday afternoon as they exited a synagogue in Paris. One of the three, a 20-year-old identified only by his first name, Yoni, was sprayed with tear gas and sustained injuries on his face and back. The two others managed to get away to alert police. Yoni was taken to the hospital and filed charges against his attackers. “We ask the police to do everything in their power to identify and seize this gang of anti-Jewish delinquents,” Sammy Ghozlan, president of the National Office of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, said in a statement Sunday.
