"France Bolsters New Year's Security Amid Elevated Terror Threats and Olympic Celebrations"
The US and Europe have heightened their terror alert levels for New Year's Eve due to fears of radicalization fueled by the Israel-Hamas conflict. France has deployed 90,000 officers to secure festivities, while the US has intensified security measures, especially in New York. A joint threat assessment highlights concerns over lone-wolf attacks and online radicalization targeting Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities. Germany and Belgium are also on high alert, with Germany deploying 4,000 police in Berlin and remaining vigilant after recent arrests linked to a Hamas plot and warnings of potential ISIS-affiliated attacks on cathedrals.
