Stars of David have been found graffitied on buildings in the Paris area. More than 850 such acts have been reported in France since the Hamas attacks.
About 400 people have been arrested for anti-Semitic acts this month, Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti said Sunday.
The number of anti-Semitic acts reported in France rose by 74% in the first nine months of 2020 compared with the same period last year, according to the interior ministry.
The union of Jewish students of France said the graffiti was designed to mirror the way Jews were forced to wear the stars by the Nazi regime.
The government has been criticised for not doing enough to protect the country’s Jewish community, the largest in Europe.
President Emmanuel Macron has condemned the recent spate of anti-Semitic attacks and said the government will do everything it can to protect the Jewish community.
