A teacher was killed and two other people were seriously injured in attacks Friday at a school in the city of Arras in northeastern France, police and regional authorities said.

Media reports suggested the attacker may have shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’, although police have not confirmed this information. French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin has also revealed that a police operation is currently going on in the school. A police official told Reuters there was no indication so far of a possible link between Friday morning’s attack on a school in northern France and the current situation in Israel. France’s anti-terrorism prosecution office had earlier said it would launch an investigation.
