CHILLING footage showing an Israeli Olympic football team bus flanked by an enormous armed police motorcade highlights the vast security operation underway in Paris.

Israel has previously urged those attending the Paris Olympics to exercise extra caution amid terror threats.

The French capital’s Olympic Games is set to become the most guarded Games ever with over 60,000 cops and soldiers, drones, helicopters and a huge increase in AI surveillance.

But new footage shows Israel have taken security to a whole new level.

A clip on X, formerly Twitter, shows the Israeli team in their bus in Paris completely surrounded by security.

The video has gone viral, gaining hundreds of thousands of views.

Footage shows three armed cops, six guards on four bikes and a car turn round a street corner as onlookers watch on in curiosity.

Then a bus containing Israeli athletes arrives – followed by a sea of security and cops.

A biker group of 12 – with two cops on board each – stalks behind the bus, along with a shocking 14 police vans.

Just when onlookers can’t think security gets any tighter, three vans pass by with the side doors open, showing off armed cops with riot gear and shields inside.

Another bus containing athletes then passes by, before more security is seen behind them.

The Israeli security parade finishes with one armoured truck which resembles that of bomb disposal.

Olympic fans are seen standing on the pavement gazing at the intense security measures.

The footage was filmed before Israeli fans were attacked in and around the stadium during and after their team played Mali.

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games officially begins on Friday, but the football competition has already kicked off.

Booing echoed across the Parc des Princes during the Israeli national anthem at the anticipated tinderbox match against Mali on Wednesday, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

During the game, hefty security guards were seen stepping four times in two different parts of the stadium, breaking up sometimes violent incidents between small groups of demonstrators and Israelis.

A clip on X, formerly Twitter, shows Pro-Palestine fans clashing with Israelis sat just metres away as they shouted abuse to one another.

Crowds could be seen walking away from the stadium, when a fiery object is seen flying across the night sky.

France‘s BRI Research and Intervention Brigade was also present as it patrolled fans outside the stadium, but did not have to take any action.

A group of eight men and women were let to remain inside despite raising Palestine flags, but four activists wearing “Free Palestine” T-shirts were escorted out of the seats before kick-off.
