News - Middle East: “Paris has been rocked by a terror attack, with a man fatally stabbing a German tourist and injuring two other people with a hammer,” said a 9 News Australia anchor early on Sunday.

The report pertained to an incident in the French capital on Saturday night in which an unidentified person stabbed to death a German tourist and injured two others, the French interior ministry said.
The suspected attacker was “quickly” arrested, French President Emmanuel Macron wrote in a post on X, adding that justice should now be done “in the name of the French people.”
“We will not give in to terrorism,” French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne was quoted as saying after the attack reportedly carried out by a 25-year-old French citizen near the iconic Eiffel Tower.
Soon after the news broke, all major mainstream news outlets described it as a “terror” attack.
Lemonde, a French daily afternoon newspaper, wrote that a German tourist was “stabbed to death in Paris terror attack” by a “radical Islamist” while two others were injured.
The report said the suspect, who lived with his parents in the Essonne region south of Paris, told police “he could not stand Muslims being killed in Afghanistan and Palestine."
France 24, a French state-owned international news network, wrote that a German tourist had been “fatally stabbed, two other people wounded in Paris terrorist attack.”
Euro News, a Brussels-based European television news network, followed the same “terror” narrative, with a headline: “German tourist fatally stabbed in Paris in a suspected terrorist attack.”
The incident on Saturday came less than a month after a teacher was killed in a knife attack at a high school in northern France, which came just a week after the Al-Aqsa Storm operation was launched.
In a report at the time, the Wall Street Journal wrote that a “teacher is killed in France in a suspected terrorist attack,” carefully employing the “terror attack” theory.
“France pays respects to teacher killed in school terror attack,” read the France 24 headline.
Sky News, in its report, said a “terror attack in French school” was “linked to Israel-Hamas conflict,” an attempt to attribute motive to the incident and find a way to invoke “terrorism” charges.
