France Deploying 90,000 Soldiers and Police for New Year’s Eve, Citing ‘Very High’ Terror Threat
France is deploying 90,000 police officers and soldiers nationwide for New Year’s Eve celebrations, citing a “very high” terror threat.
The threat is increased due to the Israel-Hamas war.
“I’ve requested a very strong mobilisation of police forces and the gendarmerie under the context of a very high terrorist threat, of course due to what’s happening in Israel and Palestine,” French Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin told reporters on Friday.
