French authorities on Wednesday confirmed that a Jewish cemetery in Westhoffen, west of Strasbourg, has been vandalized in an anti-Semitic attack.

According to local media reports, authorities said they had discovered 107 tombs spray-painted with swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans in a Jewish graveyard near the German border.

Reports of the attack came as the French National Assembly passed a resolution that stated that anti-Zionism is akin to anti-Semitism and called on other countries to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of anti-Semitism.

The vandalism in Westhoffen was discovered hours after a similar attack on another Jewish cemetery in the nearby village of Schaffhouse-sur-Zorn.

French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner condemned the "heinous acts" on Twitter, saying authorities will not rest until the vandals are brought to justice.

The Alsace region has witnessed a series of racist and anti-Semitic incidents in recent months. In February, over  90 graves were defaced with swastikas at the Quatzenheim Jewish cemetery, north of Strasbourg.

A food truck in Miami was vandalized last week with spray-painted swastikas.

Miami Police received a report that the Bao Wow Burgers Bruh food truck, in the town of Little Haiti, was marked with the anti-Semitic Nazi symbol. Police confirmed that detectives are now investigating the vandalism.

The truck's Jewish co-owner, Alex Ovadia, told Florida's WPLG Local 10 news that although the food truck has not yet officially opened for business, it has been targeted by vandals before.

"It's really disgusting, honestly, to see this in the United States, in Miami," said Ovadia. "This is a place of all people, and it's really unwelcoming to the community for us to start our business in a place where people are going to slap swastikas on our business before we open."

"Honestly, with all the things going on right now, this is really insulting a lot of people. It's really backwards," he continued.

Ovadia's business partner, Robert Marks, invited the perpetrator who targeted his truck to come have a drink and a burger "because I think the time for us to constantly be divided and harbor such hatred that would make someone feel justified in doing something like that has to end."

The owners said they will install surveillance cameras and fencing around the truck.

Aliza Shuvaly, owner of Aliza's Place Café in Melbourne, Australia, says she feels "unsafe" after her business was vandalized by swastikas this week.

The Australian Jewish News reported that Shuvaly, the daughter and daughter-in-law of Holocaust survivors, told local news outlets that the anti-Semitic graffiti, which also included the slogan "The Holocaust is a lie," so enraged her that she removed it herself.

"I won't let them have the satisfaction of having it on my wall," she said.

Shuvaly added that the attack made her feel "very unsafe" and "like a target."

Dvir Abramovich, chairman of the local Anti-Defamation Commission, said Jews in Victoria must not feel unsafe "walking the streets or in their businesses."

Abramovich told AJN that "the recent surge in hate and white-supremacist activity in our state, which is hitting an all-time high," was causing many to feel unsafe.

"Those responsible for this crime will be dealt with to the full extent of the law," Abramovich said.
