France has accused Russia's FSB (Federal Security Service) of being behind a series of anti-Semitic graffiti incidents in Paris, involving the spray painting of Stars of David in Jewish areas of the city following the October 7th Massacre. The operation, reported by Le Figaro and attributed to the FSB's 5th Department, which focuses on international operations, is seen as an act of agitation and subversion against several European countries, and described as a hybrid warfare operation. This campaign is reminiscent of Soviet-era tactics where Russian agents engaged in similar activities to stir up hatred and instability. A Moldovan couple has been arrested in connection with the graffiti, allegedly acting under the direction of an FSB handler. The incidents have been linked to a broader pattern of Russian efforts to foment anti-Semitism and societal division within Europe, including the GRU sponsoring protests and provocations in the Baltic states.
