As RedState reported, a Hamas official called for a global "day of jihad" to occur on Friday, and the attacks are already beginning. 

A Jewish teacher died in Arras, France, after a reported asylum seeker shouted "Allahu akbar!" and went on a stabbing rampage. Two others, including a security guard, were gravely wounded. The attacker was taken into custody.

French authorities have opened anti-terror investigations after one person was killed and two others seriously injured in a knife attack at a school in the northeast town of Arras. 

Local police say a man armed with a knife killed a teacher and left two other people wounded in a high school in the town of almost 41,000 people on Friday morning. The attacker has since been arrested. 

Pro-Hamas "protests" have spread across France and are expected to escalate as the day drags on. The largest chance for violence will be after the sun goes down.

In another attack, this one in Beijing, China, an Israeli diplomat was stabbed in broad daylight. The scene was caught on camera. The video shows a man approaching the diplomat with a very large knife in his hand. The two then proceed to scuffle on the sidewalk while the victim is stabbed multiple times. Israel's foreign ministry stated that he is now in stable condition. It is not immediately clear if Chinese officials arrested the attacker.

It is unlikely that this violence will stop with these two events. France has become a hot spot, but it's hardly the only place large pro-Hamas crowds are gathering. Emotions are running high, and open anti-Semitism has been on display for days. Law enforcement officials have their work cut out for them.
