Overview

• The Perpignan prosecutor’s office said the group of 150 Israeli children, aged 8 to 16 and visiting from Spain, had reserved the Tyrovol zipline course in Porté-Puymorens.
• Authorities reported the manager told some people he refused entry based on his personal beliefs before offering different explanations to others, and he denies wrongdoing.
• A post on the park’s social media announced a Thursday closure for storm-related safety inspections.
• Prosecutors said the children proceeded to another leisure site in France without incident, with security provided by the gendarmerie.
• Jewish organizations and local officials condemned the refusal as discriminatory as France records elevated antisemitic incidents, and potential penalties under French law range from three to five years depending on the statute applied.
