French authorities have successfully thwarted three separate plots aimed at attacking the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris and other cities that hosted the summer events, as revealed by the national counterterrorism prosecutor. The thwarted plots included intentions to target Israeli institutions or representatives of Israel in Paris during the Olympic competition period, although the Israeli team itself was not specifically singled out for attack.
A total of five individuals, including a minor, have been apprehended on suspicion of involvement in the three foiled plots against the Summer Games. These suspects are currently facing various terrorism-related charges and are being held in pre-trial detention.
