Three days after an attack against a synagogue, unknown assailants opened fire at a kosher fast-food restaurant in Paris’ 19th arrondissement.
The owner of the fast-food restaurant discovered a small impact crater on the front window as he arrived in the morning.
There were no injuries or other damage in the attack.
The damage, possibly caused by a pellet gun, resembled that of a shooting last Monday night at a window of the earby David Ben Ichay Synagogue.
The round went through the closed window of the religious center’s office – the only lit room – but did not hit the synagogue’s rabbi or an assistant who were present.
The National Bureau of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism (BNVCA), which monitors anti-Semitic incidents across France, said that “regardless of the projectile, whether stone, lead ball or pellet, the BNVCA considers the intention and gesture as criminal and anti-Jewish.”
The group has called for increased monitoring of the vicinity, which contains a large Jewish population, as well as many places of worship and kosher shops.
