French authorities have warned that there will be terrorist attacks on New Year's Eve, due to the war in Gaza.

According to foreign media, Gerard Darmanin, the French interior minister, has announced that 90,000 police and gendarmes will be deployed across the country during the celebrations.

"I asked for a very strong mobilization of the police and gendarmerie forces in the context of a very high terrorist threat, of course because of what is happening in Israel and Palestine," said Mr. Darmanin.

About 5,000 soldiers from Operation Sentinel, a military operation aimed at protecting the French from terrorist threats, and 35,000 firefighters will be on standby.

In Paris, where up to 1.5 million people are expected to descend on the Champs-Elysees for New Year's Eve, 6,000 officers will be on patrol. Police will be allowed to use drones for the first time as part of their operations.

Meanwhile, in Germany, authorities have announced one of the biggest police operations in years as they try to secure the streets of Berlin.

Nancy Faeser, the German interior minister, said she was "concerned that New Year's Eve could once again be a day in which we experience violence"./ CNA
