France is grappling with a big rise in antisemitic incidents.
More than 850 such acts have been reported in France since the Hamas attacks in Israel on 7 October, says Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin.
Paris authorities announced that an investigation into degradation of property aggravated by racist intent would be launched.
“I am crying, because I am once again seeing the hate that we received when I was a child,” a resident of one of the buildings graffitied told the broadcaster BFMTV. “I can’t understand it.”
In a statement, the mayoralty of the 14th arrondissement wrote that the acts “recall the events of the 1930s... which led to the extermination of millions of Jews”.
Emmanuel Grégoire, deputy to Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, said the stars would be removed and an investigation launched.
“Antisemitism continues to kill,” Grégoire said. “We will never give up the fight.”

Similar graffiti was also found in Parisian suburbs including Vanves, Fontenay-aux-Roses, Aubervilliers and Saint-Ouen. The stars were accompanied by inscriptions such as “from the river to the sea, Palestine will win”.
The Mayor of Saint-Ouen, Karim Bouamrane, called for the authors of the “antisemitic and racist” graffiti in his city to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne condemned what she termed “disgraceful acts”.
