A fire was set iinside a synagogue near Paris and attackers drew a swastika on its wall.
The fire was started at the synagogue of the suburb of Garges on Jan. 1, according to the National Bureau for Vigilance against anti-Semitism, or BNVCA.
Police were looking into the case, the report said.
Last month, a young Jewish man was attacked by several assailants at a public park in Garges while he was walking his dog. During the Dec. 16 attack, one of the man’s three assailants said they would kill him like Ilan Halimi was killed after beating him.
Halimi, a 26-year-old phone salesman from the Paris area, was abducted and tortured to death for over three weeks by a gang of criminals who targeted him because he was Jewish.
Police arrested one of the suspected assailants in the Dec. 16 assault, Le Parisien reported.
