At the Paris Olympics, Israel's team is under heightened security due to escalating Middle East tensions and the lingering trauma of the 1972 Munich massacre. The 88-member delegation is guarded by French police and Israel's Shin Bet, with athletes unable to leave their compound without armed escorts. Despite the intense security measures, Israeli athletes have achieved a record six medals, including a bronze by Peter Paltchik, who dedicated his win to Israeli families affected by recent conflicts. The team faces additional challenges, such as cyberattacks revealing personal information and death threats. The atmosphere is further charged by recent high-profile assassinations linked to Israel and the October 7 Hamas attack on Israelis. The Israeli delegation commemorates past tragedies while striving for success amid ongoing threats.
