The police arrested the suspect, who was driving a black BMW, after opening fire and wounding the driver, who was taken to a hospital in Lille, northern France, according to daily Le Figaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An inquiry is underway to understand motives and circumstances of the incident. The lives of the soldiers are not in jeopardy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The headquarters of the DGSI domestic intelligence service is in Levallois-Perret, which also houses troops assigned to the Sentinel operation for the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know this was a deliberate act, this was not an accident,\u201d Interior Minister G\u00e9rard Collomb told reporters when he visited with Parly some of the wounded soldiers at a military hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/global\/europe\/2017\/08\/08\/france-restructuring-domestic-sentinel-anti-terrorism-mission\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-635632380.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">France restructuring domestic Sentinel anti-terrorism mission<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Under Sentinel, half the troops patrol the streets of Paris in soft berets with assault rifles, and the other half is deployed in cities around the country in a deliberately highly manner to deter attacks by militants.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This incident was the latest attack on French soldiers in the Sentinel operation, which seeks to reassure the public after deadly attacks around the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The troops now patrol the streets after previously standing on static guard outside buildings deemed to be sensitive. But soldiers and police officers are now seen to be the very target of attacks rather than the buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C\u00e9dric Perrin, a senator of Belfort and a vice chairman of the Senate Committee for Foreign Affairs, Defence and Armed Forces, said in a statement he was sad and angry over the attack on the six soldiers, \u201cwho risk their life every day in the protection of everyone of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Sentinel, some 7,000 soldiers are deployed on security patrols in the streets of France, half in the capital, half in cities around the country.
