Ten French nationals were killed in the attacks led by Hamas in Israel, and 18 remain unaccounted for, French Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne said on Wednesday. There are several children among the missing French nationals, who have likely been kidnapped, she added. France had already announced the death of four French nationals earlier this week. Borne said the French government was doing everything possible to help its nationals in Israel. On Tuesday evening, the French Foreign Ministry said it would organize a flight between Tel Aviv and Paris on Thursday to allow French citizens to go home.

CNN —France has banned the sale, possession and transport of fireworks over the Bastille Day weekend next week amid fears of renewed riots. Bastille Day, which is France’s national day, is celebrated annually on July 14 with spectacular firework displays organized countrywide. On Tuesday, French President Emmanuel Macron proposed imposing “a sort of minimum tariff from the first stupid act” on the parents of minors, according to CNN affiliate BFMTV. Borne told Le Parisien that the government is looking into the measure and is ready to “evolve the law” if needed, according to BFMTV. Darmanin told journalists last weekend that the average age of thousands of people detained by French police was 17.
