		</div><p>A teenager armed with a machete has attacked a Jewish teacher in southern France, invoking the Islamic State group and saying he had also planned to go after police.</p>
<p>The 15-year-old Turkish Kurd was arrested soon after attacking the teacher, who was injured in the outdoor attack in central Marseille, according to prosecutor Brice Robin.</p>
<p>The teen invoked Allah and the extremist group only after he was detained, saying: “The Muslims of France dishonour Islam and the French army protects Jews”.</p>
<p>He attacked the teacher first from behind, slashing him in the shoulder, and then went after the man again as he tried to run away, Mr Robin said.</p>
<p>The knife attack comes just days after a man armed with a butcher knife was shot to death after authorities said he went after police in central Paris.</p>
<p>That man’s identity has not yet been confirmed but German authorities say he had lived at a shelter for asylum-seekers in the western city of Recklinghausen.</p>
<p>Both incidents coincide with high tension in France, which last week marked a year since the January attacks against the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and a kosher supermarket that left 17 people dead.</p>
<p>Over the weekend, two churches were burned and a boar’s head and racist inscriptions were found on Friday at Perpignan’s main mosque.</p>
