On 9 January 2015, Amedy Coulibaly, armed with a submachine gun, an assault rifle, and two Tokarev pistols, entered and attacked a Hypercacher kosher supermarket in Porte de Vincennes in Paris, France.

On 16 December 2020, 14 accomplices to both the Jewish supermarket attack and the Charlie Hebdo shooting, including Coulibaly's former partner Hayat Boumeddiene, were convicted.

[4] On 9 January 2015, Amedy Coulibaly, who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State,[5] attacked the people in a Hypercacher kosher food supermarket at Porte de Vincennes in east Paris.

[9][10] Some media outlets claimed he had a female accomplice, speculated initially to be his common-law wife, Hayat Boumeddiene.

"[12] Coulibaly recorded seven minutes of his attack using a GoPro camera attached to his torso, and emailed a copy of the footage using a computer at the supermarket.

[13][14] In an interview with BFMTV during an ensuing standoff, Coulibaly stated that he targeted the Jews at the Kosher grocery to defend Muslims, notably Palestinians.

[15][16] Thanks to a mobile phone line that was unintentionally left open, Coulibaly's dialogue with his hostages was recorded and transcribed by RTL (French radio).

The remaining victims of the attack, François-Michel Saada and Philippe Braham, reportedly immediately sought to resist Coulibaly as well.

[22] When Coulibaly opened fire in the store, killing Cohen, Hattab, Saada, and Braham and taking hostages, Bathily led fifteen people into the downstairs cold storage room for safety.

The lawyer representing the group, Patrick Klugman, said that hostages' lives were endangered by the coverage which revealed a cold room as one of their hiding places.

[31] French President François Hollande and a prosecutor later confirmed that four people had been killed by Coulibaly as he took the hostages before the siege began.

[39] At the instigation of the Israeli government, and after some pressure on the families,[40] it was decided that they should be buried at the Givat Shaul cemetery in Jerusalem on 13 January 2015.

[47] Lassana Bathily, a Muslim store worker who moved from Mali to France in 2006, was hailed as a "hero," a title he himself rejected.

"[57] The Conseil représentatif des institutions juives de France (CRIF) also denounced Dieudonné's comment, and called for French theatres to block him from performing.

[63][64] One reporter asked government spokeswoman Jen Psaki, "If a guy goes into a kosher market and starts shooting it up, you don't – he's not looking for Buddhists, is he?

[4] Boumeddiene would be convicted of financing terrorism and belonging to a criminal terrorist network, and received a sentence of 30 years in jail.
