Security concerns around Olympic games lead to arrests with French authorities on high alert
Fox News
French authorities have designated roughly 1,000 elite anti-terrorist officers to provide a "ring of steel" for Israel's Olympic delegation following threats against team members.
Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
"We currently have assessments regarding the potential threat posed by Iranian terrorist proxies and other terrorist organizations who aim to carry out attacks against members of the Israeli delegation and Israeli tourists during the Olympics," Katz added.
European authorities have remained on high alert as the Olympics bring an influx of threats and security concerns, especially with the presence of Israel. Some terrorist and radical groups want to see the country punished for its actions in the Gaza Strip.
