A 31-year-old suspect was reportedly arrested nearby and an investigation has been launched to determine whether he was responsible for the graffiti featuring red swastikas on several walls and columns.
Deputy and Acting Chairman of the World Zionist Organization, Yaakov Hagoel issued a statement saying:
"Anti-Semitism continues to rage... This incitement is dangerous and could lead to bloodshed. I congratulate the authorities in Paris for arresting the despicable criminal. But unfortunately, it does not stop here. We must take a hard line and uproot the source of anti-Semitic hatred that is raging all over the world."
