A group of thugs vandalized a Chabad elementary school in Paris, the public prosecutor’s office said on Sunday.

“On Saturday night, several individuals carried out acts of vandalism at the Lubavitch Jewish elementary school, Beit Chana, located in the city’s 20th arrondissement,” the statement said.

“Three windows at the school were smashed, and a CCTV camera and the building’s sign were vandalized,” the prosecutor’s office said. “The sign was found in a nearby park. The vandals did not enter the school.”

Police said an investigation has been opened into “serious property damage.”

According to data from the French Ministry of the Interior, 1,570 antisemitic incidents were recorded in France in 2024. In the first eight months of 2025, 889 incidents were reported. The full data for 2025 is expected to be published later this month.
