French police have opened an investigation into death threats received by three Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games. The Paris prosecutors' office said anti-cybercrime officers are also probing the release of competitors' personal data on social networks and trying to have it removed. Meanwhile, Olympics organisers said they have asked French authorities to investigate anti-Semitic gestures during Israel's men's football match against Paraguay on Saturday.
' Against the background of the ongoing conflict with Gaza, Israeli athletes in Paris are being escorted to and from events by elite tactical units and given 24-hour protection, according to officials.
