Netanyahu sends condolences to families of those killed in Paris, and wishes speedy recovery to the wounded.

The Prime Minister’s Office has called for bolstered security at Israel’s embassy in Paris along with Jewish institutions after a string of attacks late Friday left over a hundred dead in the French capital.

According to the report by Channel 2, the PMO instructed the Foreign Ministry to contact security authorities in France in order to carry out the measures.

Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was following the events developing in Paris and was receiving updates from the Foreign Ministry and security agencies, the report cited the PMO as stating.

The prime minister sent his condolences to the families of those killed in the attacks in Paris and wished a speedy recovery to the wounded.

“Israel stands shoulder to shoulder with French president Francois Hollande and the French people in the common war against terrorism,” the Israeli TV channel quoted him as saying.

Around 150 people were killed in multiple, near simultaneous attacks on a Paris concert hall, restaurants, and a soccer stadium in what French President Francois Hollande called an unprecedented terrorist attack.
