A Jewish woman was attacked by knife-wielding aggressors in the 19th District of Paris.

According to the report, three individuals attacked the woman, threatening her with a knife while calling her antisemitic slurs, including referencing the October 7 massacre. 

Sources said the attack had occurred in the atrium of the woman’s building, with the woman’s husband calling the police. 

The sources also claimed, according to the report, that the police, having arrived on the scene, had identified swastikas on the body of the victim. 

According to the Jewish Community’s Protection Service (SPCJ) statistics, there has been a 1000% increase in antisemitic incidents in France in 2023 compared to the previous year.
