Attackers smash windows, steal plaque from Jewish primary school in Paris

PARIS, France — A Jewish primary school was vandalized in eastern Paris over the weekend, with its windows broken and a CCTV camera torn off, French prosecutors say.

Yesterday evening, several people attacked the Beth Loubavitch — Beth Hannah primary school located in the 20th district of the French capital, the public prosecutor’s office says.

“Three windows of the school were broken, and a CCTV camera and a plaque attached to the building torn off,” it says.

The plaque was later found in a nearby square, prosecutors say, adding the vandals had not entered the school building.

Authorities have launched an investigation to identify the attackers.
