On Saturday evening, several people attacked the Beth Loubavitch - Beth'Hannah primary school located in the 20th arrondissement of the French capital, the public prosecutor's office said.
"Three windows of the school were broken, and a CCTV camera and a plaque attached to the building torn off," it said.
The plaque was later found in a nearby square, prosecutors said, adding the vandals had not entered the school building.
Authorities have launched an investigation to identify the attackers.
France is home to western Europe's largest Jewish population, at around half a million people, as well as a significant Muslim community sensitive to the plight of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Members of France's Jewish community have said the number of antisemitic acts has surged following the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7th, 2023 which triggered Israel's military response.
A total of 886 antisemitic acts were recorded between January 1st and August 31st, 2025, according to the French interior ministry, a 20-percent decrease compared to the same period in 2024.
In November, Interior Minister Laurent Nunez assured representatives of the Jewish community of his "total commitment" to the fight against anti-Semitism.
