The 2024 Paris Olympics will officially open on the night of Friday, July 26 - but already there are warnings that terrorists are looking to disrupt the games. Israel is now loudly warning that its athletes are prime targets.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Friday has sent an alarming letter to his French counterpart, Stéphane Séjourné, informing the French side of an alleged Iranian-backed plot to attack the Israeli delegation of athletes.

"There are those who seek to undermine the celebratory nature of this joyous event," wrote Katz in the message. "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."
