PARIS — Three men wearing masks forced their way into a home in a southeastern suburb of Paris this week, robbed a young couple they believed was Jewish and raped the woman, the French authorities said Wednesday.

The French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, deplored the attack in the suburb of Créteil, saying the young couple assaulted in the middle of the day on Monday had clearly been victims of anti-Semitism.

Mr. Cazeneuve said that arrests had been quickly made in the case and that neither he nor the government would ease up on the fight “against all forms of racism and anti-Semitism.”

The local prosecutor later issued a statement saying that three young men had been arrested in connection with the rape and robbery as well as a break-in on Nov. 10 in which a 70-year-old man was beaten.
