A suspicious bag found near the stadium where Israel will play as part of the Olympics in Paris, the capital of France, has prompted police to take action. After the suspicious bag was found, the surrounding streets were put under a wide security cordon and the police completely closed the street to traffic.
STREETS CLOSED TO PASSAGE
According to reports, even local residents are not allowed to enter their homes at the moment. The surrounding streets, including the Olympic bus service, are closed to all traffic.
According to a report translated by NTV from Bild, security measures had already been raised to the highest level due to Israel’s participation and the resulting danger. Authorities have been on full alert following the latest tip-off.
SECURITY PRECAUTIONS IN PARIS
Details of the exact measures in Paris are being kept secret, but this much is known: spending on athlete safety in 2024 will be around double what it was for the Tokyo Games three years ago.
