Suspected vandals daubed the front of the Paris office of Israeli national airline El Al in red paint, drawing condemnation from French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot, Reuters reports.

“Free Palestine” and other slogans were scrawled in red on the El Al entrance.

“Acts of hatred and anti-Semitism have no place in our Republic,” Tabarot wrote on X.

Joshua Zarka, Israel’s ambassador to Paris, also condemned the incident.

“It’s quite simply an attack, nothing more, nothing less, against an Israeli company, and against the state of Israel,” he told reporters.
