Four people were arrested after protesters set off flares during an Israeli orchestra concert in Paris. The incident took place on Friday evening at the Chaillot Theatre, where the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra was performing.
According to reports, a group of individuals disrupted the concert by setting off flares and waving Palestinian flags, causing a commotion in the audience. The protesters were quickly apprehended by security forces and handed over to the police.
The French authorities have confirmed that four individuals were arrested in connection with the incident. It is unclear at this time what charges they may face.
The protest comes amidst ongoing tensions in the Middle East, particularly in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The motive behind the demonstration appears to be a show of solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
