France: 200 attacks on soldiers guarding Jewish institutions over past month

Following the terrorist attack on a Jewish supermarket, France brought in the army to guard Jewish institutions: schools, synagogues and community centers.

I've previously reported that these soldiers are regularly attacked and threatened.  A few of those incidents made the news (here, here and here).

But the reality is simply shocking.  The Jewish umbrella organization CRIF reports that in the past month since the attack, French soldiers were attacked in 200 separate incidents.  Seven of those were 'serious'.  (Not that of those seven serious attacks, only three apparently made the news).

This comes out to 6-7 (random, isolated) incidents a day.
