France and Italy have deployed additional troops following days of violent riots, looting, and clashes with police. The unrest, sparked by rising living costs and other grievances, has left businesses damaged and prompted heightened security measures in major cities.
In Paris, authorities extended a nighttime curfew and announced additional military deployments. Meanwhile, Italy deployed 500 soldiers to Milan, where police detained 271 people following violent demonstrations. Both countries are preparing for further protests this Shabbos.
