Toulouse commemorated the 13th anniversary of the 2012 Jewish school massacre and shootings that claimed the lives of three children, a teacher, and three French soldiers.
The ceremony was attended by Jewish community and French political leaders, including Occitanie region president Carole Delga, Toulouse Mayor Jean-Luc Moudenc, and Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (CRIF) President Yonathan Arfi, according to a CRIF statement.
Arfi and CRIF Toulouse-Occitanie President Franck Touboul visited the Ozar Hatorah Jewish School and met with the school principal Yaacov Monsonégo, whose daughter was murdered in the attack.
Seven-year-old Myriam Monsonégo, brothers Arié and Gabriel Sandler, 6 and 3, and their father Jonathan Sandler, were brutally murdered at close range by an Islamic terrorist of Algerian descent.
The terrorist had killed soldiers Mohamed Legouad, 25, and Abel Chennouf, 23, in a Montauban attack four days before the Toulouse massacre.
Sergeant Major Imad Ibn Ziaten was murdered by the terrorist on March 11, 2012, and found shot dead behind a school in Toulouse.
