"We will have to live with the threat of new terrorist acts for a long time. Terrorism may bring new strikes, even if some of the attacks were thwarted… Terrorist acts may be repeated in the next weeks or months and we need to be prepared for them," Valls said.
The Friday attacks were prepared in Syria, Valls said in an interview with the radio station RTL. The Prime Minister added that more terrorist attacks are still being prepared and the jihadists would target not just France, but also other European nations.
"We will respond blow for blow," Valls said. "We will act, we will strike and we will win."
On Friday night, extremists wearing explosive belts and carrying automatic weapons attacked several sites across Paris, killing 132 and injuring dozens of people at restaurants, the Bataclan concert hall and in the vicinity of the Stade de France sports arena.
