Pro-Palestinian slogans and inscriptions, including "Free Palestine" and "El Al Genocide Airline", were written on the entrance, which was also daubed with red paint as well as the pavement overnight Wednesday to Thursday.
According to El Al, quoted by Israeli TV channel N12, "the incident occurred while the building was empty and there was no danger to the company's employees."
In early June, several Jewish sites in Paris were sprayed with green paint. Three Serbs were charged and placed under arrest and are suspected by investigators of acting to serve the interests of a foreign power, possibly Russia.
"I condemn the barbaric and violent act against El Al and expect the law enforcement authorities in France to locate the criminals and take strong action against them," Israel's Transport Minister Miri Regev wrote on X.
She said the act was the result of announcements by President Emmanuel Macron that "make gifts to" the Palestinian group Hamas, in apparent reference to his announcement last month that France plans to recognise a Palestinian state.
The Israeli war on Gaza has killed at least 61,158 people in Gaza, mostly women and children.
