Three days after a terrorist attack in a kosher supermarket in Paris left four Jewish men dead, the owner of the beleaguered store voiced his intention to immigrate to Israel.
Patrice Walid, owner of HyperCacher kosher mart in Porte de Vincennes, was injured in the attack and said that the moment he is discharged from hospital, he wants to move to the Jewish state.
He is planning to take his five kids and to board the plane [to Israel] as soon as possible, Walids brother Yoel told Army Radio Monday, and noted that his brother is still recuperating from bullet wounds to his hand and stomach.
He is in trauma, he is still unconscious. But at least hes alive, thats the most important thing, Yoel Walid said.
