Paris Heightens Security for France-Israel Match Amid Rising Tensions
Paris is deploying 4,000 police officers and 1,600 stadium staff for a France-Israel soccer match to ensure security following antisemitic attacks on Israeli fans in Amsterdam. The match, attended by French President Emmanuel Macron, is considered high-risk, prompting reinforced security measures including an anti-terrorist perimeter and systematic checks. The heightened security comes amid warnings from Israel's National Security Council for citizens abroad to avoid large events due to potential violence.
