Israel Enhances Security for Olympic Team

News summary

In response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Israel has significantly increased security measures for its Olympic team in Paris, fearing potential revenge attacks from Hamas. The Israeli delegation, consisting of 88 athletes and numerous staff, is now under the protection of hundreds of armed Israeli personnel, supplemented by French security forces, with heightened measures including 24-hour escort services. In addition to the Olympic security boost, Israel has raised alert levels at its diplomatic missions and Jewish institutions worldwide due to escalating threats. Reports indicate that Shin Bet and Mossad personnel have also been deployed to ensure the safety of the delegation amid death threats and online harassment targeting Israeli athletes. IOC spokesperson Mark Adams emphasized the importance of maintaining peace through international sports despite the surrounding tensions. The situation remains fluid as daily assessments are conducted to adapt security measures accordingly.
