To weaken France's image, to sow chaos, to get security forces focused on other things while they try to get specific targets.
There have been reports about both Russia and Iran being potentially involved.
So far I've seen an article about a Russian getting arrested 2 days ago.
The sovereign base areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia is a British Overseas Territory. Cyprus has no sovereignty over that area.
If that's Hezbollah's issue, they should've threatened the UK.
Adding to the other comment, Cyprus has also welcomed tens of thousands of Lebanese refugees over the years since the 80s, and lobbied the EU to financially assist Lebanon.
How is this "pro-IDF"?
I thought people here aren't pro-Hamas?
This whole week I posted.. 1 article about Hamas. Truly hustling.
The "Plenty of articles like those here." was a reply to the first part of your post.
Yeah, it's receiving coverage because there has been a serious spike in hatred and violence specifically towards Jews since the 7th of October. Not just in France.
And the rape was specifically because she's a Jew. Like the other recent case of a French Jewish woman who was raped specifically because she's a Jew.
Plenty of articles like those here.
And plenty of people denying there's any rise in hatred and violence towards Jews.

"Un deuxième mineur aurait confié aux policiers avoir frappé la jeune fille au motif qu’elle aurait eu de mauvaises paroles à propos de la Palestine."
A politician who got the 36th position in the Likud list 10 years ago.
The party he founded after that didn't get even 1 mandate.
Hamas was the government of Gaza. You couldn't get anything in there without it getting through Hamas anyway.
They sure managed to get a lot of weapons and rockets in there, and enough building materials for massive underground tunnels.
And your dear Al-Jazeera has an article from 2017 that says Qatari money actually did help Gaza Analysts: Qatar supports Gaza not Hamas
Are they also Zionist propaganda now?
Hamas is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. It wasn't "invented" by Israel.
And Israel didn't fund them, but it's true that Bibi let Qatar money reach Hamas when he could've blocked it.
The belief among some of the ones who supported that, was that better conditions of life in Gaza would prevent them from going to another war - An article about it from 2015
