The Porte de Vincennes hostage crisis occurred at a Hypercacher kosher supermarket in Porte de Vincennes in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo shooting two days earlier. The main perpetrator, Amedy Coulibaly, was an acquaintance of Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, the perpetrators of the previous attack. Four hostages were murdered by Coulibaly, before the assailant himself was killed by police.

Hostage-taking

On 9 January, Amedy Coulibaly, armed with two AKS-74U assault rifles, entered and attacked a Hypercacher kosher food supermarket at Porte de Vincennes in east Paris. He killed four people, all of whom were Jews,[1][2][3] and took several hostages.[4][5] Some media outlets claimed he had a female accomplice, speculated to be his wife, Hayat Boumeddiene.[6]

It was later confirmed that Coulibaly was also the gunman in a shooting in Montrouge that occurred the previous day; the shooting left a female Municipal Police officer, Clarissa Jean-Philippe, dead.[7] A witness stated, "People were buying things when a man came in with a rifle and started shooting in all directions. I ran out. The shooting continued for several seconds."[8]

In an interview with BFMTV during the standoff, Coulibaly stated that he targeted the Jews at the Kosher grocery to defend Muslims, notably Palestinians.[9][10] Thanks to a mobile phone line that was unintentionally left open, Amedy Coulibaly's dialogue with his hostages was recorded and transcribed by RTL (French radio).[11] Coulibaly said his action was revenge for the Syrian government action and against the Western coalition actions in Mali, Iraq, and Afghanistan.[11]

Yohan Cohen, aged 22, and Yoav Hattab, aged 21, have been hailed as heroes by their fellow hostages, having been murdered while seeking to overcome Amedy Coulibaly and free the remaining hostages in the store.Vorlage:Citation needed Coulibaly reportedly abandoned one of his rifles on a counter-top in the store as he entered after it had jammed.Vorlage:Citation needed After Coulibaly proceeded to threaten a customer with a small child at the beginning of the attack, Cohen, an employee, attempted to grab the abandoned rifle with the help of Hattab and take down Coulibaly.Vorlage:Citation needed When the malfunctioning gun jammed on Cohen at that moment, Coulibaly shot Cohen in the head, and then proceeded to shoot Hattab.Vorlage:Citation needed It is suspectedVorlage:By whom that the remaining victims of the attack, Francois-Michel Saada and Philippe Braham, immediately sought to resist Coulibaly, as well.[12][13][14]

Lassana Bathily, a Malian born and Muslim[15][16] shop assistant to whom Yohan Cohen referred as a "friend" in his personal Facebook page, has also been hailed as a hero in the hostage crisis for hiding people from the gunman and assisting police after his escape.[17] During the hostage crisis, Bathily helped to hide hostages in a cold-storage container in the basement.[15] When Coulibaly opened fire in the store, killing Cohen, Hattab, Saada, and Braham and taking hostages, Bathily led fifteen people into the downstairs cold storage room for safety. Bathily was then able to escape alone by slipping out of the store using elevator equipment.[18]

Coulibaly was reportedly in contact with the Kouachi brothers as the sieges progressed, and told police that he would kill hostages if the brothers were harmed.[19] Nearby schools were placed under lock-down and local Jewish businesses were shut down as a precaution.[20]

Police intervention

Police stormed the grocery store and shot Coulibaly. At least four explosions were heard.[21][22] Fifteen hostages were rescued.[23] Several people, including two police officers, were wounded during the incident.[24] French President François Hollande and a prosecutor later confirmed the deaths of four people, all of which occurred before the siege began.[25][26] Explosives tied to a detonator were later found around the store.[22] Bathily provided information about the store to assist police.[27]

Victims

Funeral of the 4 murdered in Hypercacher in Paris
  • Yoav Hattab, 21, college student; son of the Chief Rabbi of Tunis.[28]
  • Philippe Braham, 45, IT sales executive, and the brother of the Rabbi of the Synagogue de Pantin, serving a suburb of Paris.[28]
  • Yohan Cohen, 22, college student.[28]
  • François-Michel Saada, 64, retiree.[28]

They were given the Legion of Honour by the Republic of France posthumously.[29]

They were buried at the Givat Shaul cemetery in Jerusalem, Israel on January 13, 2015.[30] The funeral was attended by thousands, some holding signs reading "Je suis juif" or "Je suis Israelien", with pictures of the four deceased.[31] During the ceremony, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin and French Ecology Minister Ségolène Royal gave brief speeches.[30][31] Royal said, “Anti-Semitism has no place in France,” said Royal. “I want to assure you of the unfailing determination of the French government to fight against all forms and acts of anti-Semitism.”[29][31][30][32]

Reactions

President François Hollande described the event as a "terrifying act of anti-Semitism."[33] Israel's Foreign Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman issued a statement, saying the attacks "[were] not just against the French people or French Jews, they're against the entire free world. This is another attempt by the dark forces of radical Islam to unleash horror and terror on the West. The entire international community must stand strong and determined in the face of this terror."[34]

A Hamas-linked publication praised the attacks in Paris, and hailed those responsible as "martyrs".[35]

Children's author J. K. Rowling called Lassana Bathily, who is Muslim, "courageous and compassionate".[36] Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, expressed his "appreciation" for Bathily's actions.[16]

The manager of the kosher supermarket, who was shot in the arm during the attack, has announced he would make aliyah.[37]
