‘Dirty Jew, I’m going to kill you’: Man injured in antisemitic attack in Paris suburb
[IsraelTimes] A 67-year-old man wearing a kippah was violently attacked by a man who made antisemitic threats on Saturday in Yerres (Essonne), a suburb south of Paris.

According to a police source, the attack took place around 7:45 a.m. in the town in the northern Essonne region, bordering Val-de-Marne.

“Dirty Jew, I’m going to kill you,” the attacker repeated, according to the source.

“An investigation is underway into the charges of attempted robbery with violence resulting in a total incapacity for work of more than eight days committed on religious grounds and for death threats on religious grounds,” Grégoire Dulin, public prosecutor of Evry, told AFP.

The investigation has been entrusted to the Essonne Territorial Crime Directorate. No arrests have been made at this stage, the magistrate specified.

“This is the first time” that such an attack has occurred in a relatively “calm” area, Mendel Gourevitch, director of the yeshiva in Brunoy, a neighboring town of Yerres, told AFP.

Antisemitic acts have been on the rise in France since October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched its unprecedented attack against Israel, starting the war in Gaza, which has been ongoing for almost two years.

In the first six months of 2025, 646 antisemitic acts were recorded in the country, according to the Ministry of the Interior, a decrease of 27.5% compared to the first half of 2024, but a jump of 112.5% ​​over the same period in
