I believe the French Wikipedia page[0] is the most comprehensive place to get information on the subject. There is also a, much shorter, English page[1].

Does the OP article refer to this specific incident? Or is this a larger phenomenon?

It refers to this specific incident (the OP article is even mentioned at the end of the French Wikipedia page[0]).

The op article is specifically about the 8th of December 2020 incident, from beginning to end.

However, it does make the point that it is akin to "L'affaire de Tarnac" that lasted from 2008 to 2018.
