A Marseille father is one of the five victims of the attack on the Djerba synagogue, perpetrated on the evening of Tuesday May 9. The assailant targeted the place of worship in the midst of a Jewish pilgrimage.
Shots rang out on the evening of Tuesday May 9 outside a synagogue in Djerba (Tunisia). Inside, the frightened pilgrims hunkered down. A traditional Jewish holiday was just coming to an end. The assailant, a Tunisian gendarme, killed three of his colleagues and then two faithful of the Jewish faith, including a Frenchman. The Tunisian authorities, who neutralized him, are now trying to find out his motives.

“Some got down on their stomachs, others ran in all directions. As I saw the cops who started shouting for us to protect ourselves and to run, I understood that it was a attack”, says a witness. The French pilgrim killed last night, Benjamin Haddad, 42, father of four, lived in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône). He was a baker. Traders who work in his neighborhood are struggling today to hide their emotion.
