"On August 9, 1982, three to five men threw a grenade into Jo Goldenberg, a Jewish-owned restaurant in the Rue des Rosiers, in Paris's historic Marais district, before opening fire on the street outside. Six people were killed and 22 wounded in the incident."
"Adra was arrested in the West Bank by Palestinian security forces in September last year. French antiterrorism prosecutors filed an extradition request days later, and he was flown to the Villacoublay military airbase outside Paris on Thursday, where he was taken into custody."
"Macron praised the Palestinian Authority's cooperation, saying it reflected a commitment by President Mahmoud Abbas to work with France on counterterrorism. Abbas had told French newspaper Le Figaro late last year that France's recognition of Palestinian statehood in September 2025 had created an appropriate framework for the extradition request."
Mahmoud Khader Abed Adra, sought for over four decades, was surrendered by Palestinian authorities to France. He is suspected of organizing a deadly attack on a Jewish restaurant in Paris in 1982, which resulted in six deaths and 22 injuries. Adra was arrested in the West Bank in September 2022, and following an extradition request from French authorities, he was flown to France. French President Emmanuel Macron linked the extradition to France's recognition of Palestinian statehood, praising the cooperation of the Palestinian Authority in counterterrorism efforts.
