Security will be heightened at tonight’s Euroleague match between Panathinaikos and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Athens, with approximately 1,500 police deployed. This decision follows recent attacks against Israeli fans in Amsterdam. Only 40 Maccabi supporters are allowed to attend due to safety concerns. Police will escort the team and ensure the safety of attending fans. Broader fears of anti-Semitic violence have increased since the onset of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, prompting similar security reinforcements at international events, including a forthcoming match in Paris.
