French authorities halted three potential attacks related to the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics, leading to five terrorism-related arrests and extensive security measures.
One of the plots involved a target at the Geoffroy Guichard Stadium, approximately 310 miles from Paris, for soccer matches during the Olympics.
Olivier Christen noted that while one of the plots aimed at Israeli institutions in Paris, the Israeli team itself was not the specific target.
Jihadi threats reigned prevalent among the foiled plots, with around 80% of cases against suspects referencing Islamist ideology, according to Christen.
