New Year's Eve Security Tightened in Major Cities Amid 'Very High' Terror Threat

France, Germany, and New York City bolster security measures for New Year's Eve celebrations due to concerns linked to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

France is deploying 95,000 police and military personnel for New Year's Eve celebrations due to a 'very high' terror threat linked to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
Paris alone will have 6,000 security forces on duty, with up to 1.5 million people expected to gather on the Champs-Elysées for the countdown.
In New York City, officials are expanding the security perimeter around Times Square for the New Year's Eve celebrations to account for expected protests related to the Israel-Hamas war.
Germany is also preparing for potential violence on New Year's Eve, with one of the largest police operations in years planned to secure the streets of Berlin.
Despite the heightened security measures, officials in all three countries have stated there are no specific credible threats to the celebrations.
