Four people were arrested after protesters used flares to disrupt a concert by the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra in Paris on Thursday night, the latest in a wave of anti-Israel incidents linked to the Gaza conflict, French officials said on Friday.
Activists interrupted the performance three times, clashing with audience members during each one, France in English reported. The orchestra resumed its performance after each interruption.
The Philharmonie condemned the disruptions and will be filing a formal complaint regarding the incidents.
"Nothing can justify such actions," it stated. "It is entirely unacceptable to threaten the safety of the public, staff, and artists."
"I strongly condemn the actions committed last night during a concert at the Philharmonie de Paris. Nothing can justify them," Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said on X.
